The Top 5 Best DNS Servers for improving Online Privacy & Security
SPs (Internet Service Providers) generally offer DNS services to their customers, so when you don’t set up DNS servers on your computer or router, your DNS queries will run on your ISPs DNS servers. Using the default ISP DNS servers can result in certain problems while browsing the Internet:
- Decreased security
- Decreased privacy
- Decreased speed
- Inability to load websites
- Other DNS errors
Issues can happen with DNS requests themselves; most of the time they’re unencrypted and this leaves room for different types of DNS attacks.
How to update my Dynamic IP on my own domain?
Easy: you need to set a CNAME record in your xxxx.com domain, pointing to your dynamic DNS domain at xxxx.strangled.net
DNS resolver will follow the CNAME transparently. User will not notice any difference. It might add a hundred milliseconds or so to the whole query, but that shouldn’t be a problem. When you type htpc.xxxx.com in your browser, it will still stay htpc.xxxx.com. You will not even realize that the strangled.net address is involved in all this.
