About this tag
Custom DNS settings allow Windows users to override default DNS servers provided by their ISP or router, often to improve speed, reliability, or privacy. On Windows 11 and 10, a common issue is that custom DNS configurations reset after reboot, reverting to automatic settings. This can affect browsing performance and security. Solutions include using third-party tools like DNS Jumper to quickly switch between DNS providers such as Google DNS or OpenDNS, or manually configuring network adapter settings. For advanced users, Windows XP had limitations in per-domain DNS resolution, unlike Unix systems. Properly setting custom DNS is also a key step for securing connections on public Wi-Fi networks.
