Best DNS for Fastest Browsing Speed in Malaysia

About DNS



When you want to visit a website, like google.com, your computer doesn't understand the name "google.com." Instead, it needs an "address" to find the website—just like you need someone's phone number to call them.
DNS works by translating the website's name (like google.com) into a number called an IP address (like 172.217.0.46) that your computer can understand. It's like you asking a phone book, "What's the number for Google?" and the DNS gives your computer the right address to connect to.
DNS helps your computer find websites quickly and easily without you needing to remember those complicated numbers!

1. Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
2. Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
3. OpenDNS: 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.222.220

The chart is taken from Cloudflare’s DNS
Cloudflare DNS is the newcomer in the scene who claims to be the fastest DNS in the market right now.
Google DNS and OpenDNS have been around for quite some time. Based on my past experience, Google DNS is very fast too but OpenDNS is slightly slower. However, OpenDNS positions itself as a safe for family DNS which comes with pre-configured settings to block adult content. It serves users with different needs such as parental control.

  2. Select "Network and Internet Settings" (or "Open Network & Internet settings").

Step 2: Open Adapter Settings

  1. In the settings window, click "Change adapter options" (on Windows 11, go to "Advanced network settings" > "More network adapter options").
  2. Right-click your active network connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and choose "Properties".

Step 3: Configure DNS Settings

  1. In the list of items, select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click "Properties".
