How to change DNS on Windows, Mac, iPhone & Android Devices

Suppose you went to a city where all the streets, towns, alleys, and houses were only marked by numbering. How difficult is it to look at the address of a house in this city? You have to remember the exact number of each of the above items, which is not at all wise, so naming is a conventional way. It’s the same in the Internet world. Namely, different website addresses can be used with easier naming. Meanwhile, the Internet knows only the IP address.

There is a service called DNS (Domain Name Sever) that converts the domain name to the IP address. We all use our DNS server by default by default, but this will allow you to track your searches while slowing down the internet. Although webmasters are not looking for your searches, but because of the speed they are, it’s best to change your DNS address as quickly as possible, but you know how to change the DNS?
