[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 107474, post: 1076809"] Yes, although DNS provice an alternative server, It has happened that ISP DNS services were under attack and domain name requests are not resolved to IP-addresses. In stead of specifying multiple it is easier to follow the hierarchy of applying the correct DNS and define a backup at lower level. [LIST=1] [*]DNS/DOH set in your browser [*]DNS/DOH set in the (e.g. Wifi) network connection on your PC or DNS set for the network adapter (all connections) on your PC [*]DNS set in your router. [/LIST] When you have a laptop can can set a fallback DNS for your network Adapter. I also have set one in the router. Why would you switch DNS on the fly? I use NextDNS in my browser, Quad9 set in the laptop adapter and DNS0.eu in the router. [/QUOTE]
