A public DNS resolver is a service that sends requests to name servers and orchestrates DNS lookup, the process that translates domain names into IP addresses.<\/p>

Your public DNS resolver is most likely provided by your ISP by default. Typically, it\u2019s slow and not very secure (so your sensitive data can be easily compromised by ISP.<\/em>) We offer our fast and secure public DNS resolver that provides you with a quick response time and absolute privacy.\u00a0And it\u2019s free.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
