    ​@yz249 It will just speed up the DNS, so the moment you click the download button until the download start.

    @XGas.Hurried No. Changing DNS servers can speed up the amount of time it takes to resolve a domain name/website. But it won’t speed up your overall internet connection. For example, you won’t see an improvement in average download speeds for streaming content or downloading large files.

    @Kingblade It affects how fast your local wifi receives information from other distant servers youre reaching out to. Whatever internet activity you do (loading browsers, downloads, uploads, streaming) is essentially faster. Sorta like switching from 4G to 5G.

    If you have a lot of devices connected to one router, this likely wont do anything

Hi Linus Linus team & Readers: My idea is similar to the new combined wifi routers.. which allow combined data access from not only wired but wired+ multiple wireless antenna’s ..so can we actually combine data download from close by routers too? giving neighbours part dns lists? I used to be a network Guru in the 90’s in Holland for Geo-Logistics ..still got some thankful ‘Western Digital’ T’shirts as thanks.
..If We can’t do it now? -can it at least start a conversation within our PC community?

glad you’re out there making these videos; i’ve been using “1dot” for a couple years, but it’s great to hear your explanations of how things work–concise, informative.

…and that poor guy sitting at his laptop while your camera person invaded their ‘privacy’ was hilarious.

    What i understand is, means instead of getting faster speed, this tips is just making your speed much more slower than even your neighbor’s slow wifi.

    Or imma say, a downgrade… Is that what it actually means lol?

Changing the DNS settings on all your devices can actually slow them down. The original default value may be a local DNS cache in your router which could easily be faster on average if it already uses a fast remote DNS server. But either way the difference is pretty unlikely to even be noticeable.

    if i pay for 150 up n down, and according to speedtests thats what i get. will changing dns be of any use?

    Reply
    Ricky Anthony

    @dose buss If you go to many different websites for the first time all the time, and you care about how fast the page loads, (for the first time) then you might notice a small difference. But your internet speed is already fast so very unlikely to make an impression. Most people want faster loading of movies or YouTube or file downloads or something, and that will not change.

Fun fact: This will help you only first time you visit a page, then is cached on your device for a while (TTL).
If you really need speed, just use your own local DNS (pihole, bind9, …) and block request you don’t need.
If you’re privacy freak, use unbound or similar software.

One quick note, to save people from some headaches. These changes are better made on your router instead of your phone or computer. That way when you go to work or the coffee shop with your phone or computer you won’t break things like login portals or intranet services.

    I’m not well versed in this sort of thing but if I understand you correctly in that most intranets block external DNS providers, I would add that if you work from home you probably shouldn’t do this to your router, as you may not be able to access your job’s intranet on your work computer. I’ll stick with setting it up on my gaming PC and not the router for this reason.

    🤔work from home issues… Would setting only the primary and leaving the backup as is fix most issues??? I honestly don’t know how that tech works. I would think it would rely on computer and device authentication and encryption rather then intranet blocking? I’m just guessing tho. I wouldn’t think they could identify and keep up with externaldns server authentication across multiple external sites and devices and networks.

When you get this recomended now and you just imidietly notice how old it is by linus style change. Linus you are a true living chronometer.
Also this allows the access to some shady internet sites

You should have mentioned that some ISP gateways/routers won’t let you change the DNS on their equipment. Therefore, changing it on a device only slows things down, bottleneck, gateways always intercept the transaction and redirect it to “their” crappie DNS servers.

I’ve been telling people to do this for 10+ years ever since I started looking into reducing network latency. Even recommending using Steve Gibson’s DNS benchmark utility (gotta love how tiny that program is thanks to being programmed in Assembly language). Glad you made a video about this. Sorry I didn’t know until now otherwise I would have been sharing this years ago. Thanks YouTube for finally putting it in my feed. LOL!
