How to Change DNS in Windows 8

The DNS (Domain Name System) server is responsible of resolving the names to IP addresses. This is because computers are able to deal with IP addresses not the names.

Reasons why you might want to change DNS to Google’s public DNS:

1. Better speed: mostly, Google DNS will grant you better speed than your ISP’s. However, this depends on how close Google’s DNS sever to you. This can easily be determined by using a free benchmarking tool; such as Namebench.
2. Better browsing experience: this is related to the previous point. If your ISP’s DNS is slow, you might experience times of total disconnection when certain websites fail to load.
3. Security: Google’s DNS supports DNSSEC to make sure that DNS requests are securely signed and correct.
4. Bypass geographic restrictions: when you change DNS to Google’s, you will be able to access USA-only streaming services; such as Netflix and Hulu, even in you are outside USA.
