Once your computer knows the IP location of a domain name(in this case google.com), it opens the website in your browser. <br /> <br />Everytime,we connect to the website ,requests goes to DNS ,In most cases, our ISP provides DNS addresses that we put into browser network settings or in Router. <br /> <br /> Drawbacks of Using ISP DNS <br /> <br />Our Internet Service Provider specifies the DNS Server address that we key into the browser network settings or the router. <br /> <br />What if Your ISP DNS works slow,We get slow internet connection and sometimes many sites will not open . <br /> <br />To remove these and increase our Internet speed ,we use Open DNS that is the Fastest one .We need to put the DNS in our Network connections or Router settings page. <br /> <br />Let's do it <br /> <br />Check out here for more info on Open DNS <br /> <br />http://www.opendns.com/ <br /> <br />
