The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the
Internet. Humans access information online through domain
names, like nytimes.com or espn.com. Web browsers interact
through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates
domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet
resources.
Default DNS services are provided by your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) at home, your cellular provider, workplace,
and all public WiFi networks that you might use.
Many are logging everything you do. Some are blocking
websites. Your DNS history can identify you, perhaps even
better than tracking cookies.
Public DNS (over TLS/HTTPS) service offers privacy and
security:
1. Set your home Router to use Public DNS services.
2. Set each mobile device to use Public DNS services.
3. Set each computer to use Public DNS services.
