Easily Change DNS to Improve Speed & Security<\/h4>\n

By Vamsi Krishna for MakeTechEasier<\/p>\n

DNS is an important component of the Internet as it converts human readable web address to their respective IP addresses. Usually, these DNS services are provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and they\u2019re often not that great.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are several third party DNS services available on the Internet and you can configure them in your Windows system. But the catch is that manually changing DNS in your Windows network settings requires some technical knowledge as it is buried deep inside, and remembering all those third party DNS service IP addresses is just a pain in the neck. And that is what DNS Jumper is for.<\/p>\n
