When we use the internet at home or on our mobile devices, our devices usually rely on DNS servers configured automatically by our internet service provider. However, default servers are not always the best option.
If you're concerned about your online privacy and prefer not to share your browsing history with your service provider, or simply want to improve browsing speed and access blocked websites, setting up an alternative DNS server may be beneficial for you.
If you're not entirely sure what a DNS server is, you'll find that it functions as a massive database that translates website URLs into IP addresses. Thanks to this process, you can access sites like "facebook.com" without needing to manually input their IP address "157.240.5.35".
Of course, if you have a slightly slower DNS server, this can lead to delays in page loading. If you're looking to improve internet connection speed on your Android device, experimenting with an alternative DNS server might be the optimal step to achieve this goal.
