Has your internet connection become slow? Are web pages repeatedly taking time to load? If you want your internet to run faster and browsing to be easier, setting up a private DNS can be a great option. Nowadays this feature is available in Vivo smartphones, through which you can increase both internet speed and security by setting a custom DNS server.
What is Private DNS and why it is important
DNS (Domain Name System) is an important part of the Internet, which converts domain names (like google.com) into IP addresses. This process works in the background every time you open a website.
But, the default DNS server can sometimes be slow or pose a security risk. By using Private DNS –
- Internet speed improves
- Security increases (protection against phishing and malware)
- You get a filtered and customized browsing experience
