Resolve navigation issues by changing DNS settings in Windows and MacOS
Changing the DNS (Domain Name System) on your devices can enhance browsing speed, increase security, and help bypass certain network restrictions. DNS translates website addresses (like www.webzi.mx) into IP addresses, and by changing them, you can experience more efficient browsing.
Modifying DNS settings on your computing devices has several advantages, including:
- Improving browsing speed by resolving domain names more quickly
- Enhancing security by avoiding misconfigured or compromised DNS servers
- Accessing blocked or restricted websites in specific regions
Instructions for Windows
- Access Settings:
- Click the "Start" button and search for "Settings" - Modify Network Settings
- Go to "Network & Internet" and then "Ethernet" - Edit DNS
- Under "DNS server assignment," click "Edit"
- For Preferred DNS, enter 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS)
- For DNS over HTTPS, select: "Enabled (Automatic template)"
- Click "Save"
Instructions for MacOS
- Access System Preferences
- Click the Apple icon (top-left) and then "System Preferences" - Modify Network Settings
- Select "Network," choose "WiFi," and click "Advanced" for the connected network - Edit DNS
- Under "DNS Servers," click the "+" icon
- Enter 8.8.8.8 and then click "OK"
Changing DNS is an effective way to enhance your online experience. By using reliable and fast DNS servers, such as Google's (8.8.8.8), you can enjoy faster and more secure browsing. It's a straightforward process in both Windows and MacOS and can have a significant impact on your internet connection.
