[ Detailed Description ]

Every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. In fact, your computer performs hundreds of lookups everyday:

One of Google announced services – Google Public DNS. For the uninitiated, DNS is a system that converts simple website addresses like www.google.com to IP addresses like 209.85.231.99. So for every website you visit, your browser requests the DNS to resolve the IP address before it can show you the actual page content.

Google’s free service replaces your ISP’s default DNS to provide a speedier and more reliable internet experience. User tests have shown that changing over to Google DNS speeds up browsing significantly. In fact, most users outside the US will notice a drastic change in navigation speeds. Changing your DNS address is extremely simple (you can read the instructions on the Google Public DNS homepage), but then I’ve made the whole process even more simple with Google DNS Helper.

Gooogle DNS Helper is a small utility coded in .NET using C#. It backs up your current DNS server address and then changes it to Google’s DNS. You can restore your old DNS anytime you want. As simple as that!

So if you just want to enjoy the Google Public DNS only without having to change complex adjustments in the PC, we recommend you the Google DNS Helper!

The DNS protocol is an important part of the web’s infrastructure, serving as the Internet’s phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup.
