Advice Request Which DNS Server do you use? /DNS Tunnelling

[Dirk41]

I wonder why you wanna switch between DNS-es?
I think there is no such app. Maybe there is if you jailbreak but I don't know

DNS Override can change DNS but via VPN connection

Well first of all I read on Internet that some DNS work well in a wifi/network but bad in another . But till now this is not my case .

I asked because maybe sometime a DNS provider has problem and so you switch to another

anyway , as far as I know , you need JB only if you want to change DNS for 3G , not wifi . In fact my iPhone is not JB

if you wanna have a stable connection with DNS you can enter 2 different DNSes
like Im using 208.67.222.222, 8.8.8.8 for my PC because I dont need adblocking and never experience network drop. When the first server down, the second one will work and you won't notice anything

for mobile devices I use alternate-dns only to block ads. I never have any issue. using 2 different DNSes doesn't work
if I use adguard + google for example, ads won't be blocked

I'm using the fastest DNS server from namebench.

 

[Evjl's Rain]

I'm using the fastest DNS from namebench.

in fact, DNS A is the fastest at 10am but can be the 3rd or 4th place at 7pm.
I have seen google DNS 8.8.8.8 is almost always the fastest, rarely be the second place. 8.8.4.4 is unstable, it used to be at 7th place at a specific time while 8.8.8.8 was the fastest

ISP DNSes can be faster but they are not good enough

Currently trying new ISP so trying its DNS too.

New ISP - Jio
Previous ISP - Pacenet

I have used Google DNS with my previous ISP And always worked fast & reliable here

Attached is the screenshot of DnsJumper for few DNS here

 

[Dirk41]

I tried alternate DNS on my iPhone and I think I can say they are effective as much as adguard regarding ads . I am referring especially to in mobile app ads.

Anyway, as far as they work, i use adguard , because now I have even pro version thank to @MalwareTips

But I recommend alternate DNS

 

[FrFc1908]

I use the dns jumper app wich gives you a range of dns servers to choose from , I mainLy use google dns servers in combination with dns crypt

 

[Myriad]

I use DNSJumper from Sordum.

You can select your chosen DNS , check resolve time , or simply let DNSJumper find the fastest for you .

I have a router supplied by my ISP and the settings are locked down tight .
There is no way I can flash the firmware , or use really cool stuff like Tomato.

They still periodically try to switch me back to their chosen DNS , so I stop them by using another great tool from Sordum ...
DNSLock .

Try them out , you will love them ..... they are light , clean ( no bundleware , no phone-home ) and free !

 

[Dirk41]

DNS jumper says that here openNIC would be the fastes . Norton ( I use ) 9 ms slower and Google 2 time slower than opeNIC ( never heard before )

So good Norton

 

[Kubla]

Im using DnsCrypt and CloudNS via Simple DNsCrypt apps to avoid MITM attacks

I use that to for no log DNS and for added security you can their DNS servers with DNSSEC DNSSEC - The DNS Security Extensions - Protocol Home Page

 

[inuyasha]

using comodo dns now. it's p quick

 

[ucyweb]

Once, I've used Comodo DNS, but I do not use anymore because it slows the internet connection. I use dns assigned by my ISP. However, I really want to know why should we use a particular dns such as google DNS? for security reasons?

 

[russ0408]

I'm using Adguard Dns. It's fast and blocks adds and bad sites.

 

[HarborFront]

Anyone tried DNS.WATCH, here

Fast, free and uncensored. DNS.WATCH. - DNS.WATCH

 

[Urusen]

French DNScrypt.org

212.47.228.136

 

[military]

Google DNS, but Yandex DNS it is also good. The best of all to use DNSCrypt (Simple DNSCrypt).

Here French DNScrypt.org via Simple DNsCrypt apps.

 

[Daniel Keller]

Google and opendns.
But filtered by pihole first...

 

[AtlBo]

From this list:

7 Best DNS Servers (Free and Public)

went with Level 3 dns service

 

[shmu26]

I was using opendns family shield.
But it was blocking certain sites, and it also conflicted a little with the K-9 proxy.
So I went back to default DNS settings, and all is fine.
