Domain name System or DNS is an important process that matches the domain names to its IP Address. When you enter a URL in the address bar, the DNS servers look at the IP Address of that domain. Once matched, it comments on the web server of the visiting website.
Although it’s an automated process, sometimes DNS tends to misbehave, especially the ones assigned by the ISPs. Unstable DNS servers often trigger errors as DNS lookup failed, DNS server not responding, etc.
All of these DNS issues can be used by using a Custom DNS. As of now, there are hundreds of Public DNS servers available out there that you can use for free. Public DNS servers such as Google DNS, OpenDNS, Adguard DNS, etc, offer better protection and speed.
