How To Make Faster Internet  For Free On Windows 10(DNS settings)

Intro win+DNS Settings↓
when you sign up to get internet access with an internet service provider there are various network settings supplied to you including the domain name system addresses instead of relying on the default DNS server of your ISP which can be slower less private and in some cases less reliable changing to a free public DNS server is a great way to improve your internet speed and overall experience on Windows 10 in short without going into a full explanation of DNS.It's best to think of DNS as a translation service for example in the address bar when you want to go to a website instead of typing in the IP address for every website that you visit the DNS lets you type in a user-friendly domain name that gets translated into the actual IP address making it easier to connect with that side. In this article  I gave several tips to increase the internet speed including DNS in article  I'll attempt to take a deeper dive and give additional details to help you choose the best DNS server and settings for your computer.
                         

01:Windows 10 Settings.
let's now go through the steps to change the DNS settings first I'll go through the steps using the Settings app which is now the easiest way to do this on Windows 10 and afterwards for those of you that prefer the old-school methods or have another computer lying around with Windows XP or 7.
I'll show you the steps using the control panel for those of you that are new to Windows 10 to open
 the Settings app left click the Windows Start menu icon in the lower left then click on settings go to

three boxes empty and coming up will be typing the addresses into the boxes for both preferred DNS and alternate DNS before entering any information.

Let's take a quick look at the best DNS services Google Public DNS is perhaps the most well known and one of the fastest with data centers worldwide.But its privacy policy doesn't meet the higher standards of some of its competitors

 CloudFlare has a public dns with impressive speeds and an excellent privacy policy that will never log your IP address sell your data and all debug logs are removed from their system within 24 hours.Open DNS which is now owned by Cisco is also very popular with more than 90 million users it offers fast speeds phishing sites are blocked by default and they claim to have 100% reliability and uptime there are other DNS servers out there to choose from than those mentioned.I'd recommend choosing one of these three when you get started what works best for me may not work best for you there are numerous variables including distance from the DNS server that can impact performance so use one of these for a few days if you don't see any noticeable improvement.Try out another one my personal favorite is cloud flare so for preferred DNS.
