Usually, that is not the fastest nor best option some ISPs collect the data and sell it.
In technical terms: domain names are send to a DNS resolver which returns the IP address required for the connection to the device that wants to make the request.įor many Internet users, it is their ISP that handles DNS automatically.
by clicking on a link in an email or on a website, DNS is used to look up the IP address of the server or device hosting the content. DNS, broken down to its core, is like a telephone directory for domains. Feel free to ask them in the comments below or in any of our social media.DNS is one of the cornerstones of the Internet. We'll be happy to answer any of your questions regarding AdGuard DNS should you have some. While the old addresses will be deactivated within the next 2 years, the rental agreement is going to be active for a longer period - we're not going to give them away. We long wanted to own our IPs, and finally we do. However, the rental solution is not ideal for a DNS service. We have a long-term rental agreement for the old addresses.
Of course you can always look them up online, but that takes time, especially if you have many phones, laptops and other devices to configure AdGuard DNS on. The old addresses were not so easy to remember. If you have any troubles with setting up AdGuard DNS on your device or router, check out the setup guide. "Non-filtering" DNS servers provide a secure and reliable connection, but they don't filter anything like the "Default" and "Family protection" servers do. Use these servers to block ads, trackers, phishing and adult websites, and to enforce safe search in your browser. Use these servers to block ads, trackers and phishing websites. But we still urge you to switch to the new ones rather sooner than latter: Default servers We plan to shut them down in a year or two - we'll be monitoring the activity of the old DNS addresses. If you configured your routers and other devices to use them, your Internet connection won't turn into a pumpkin overnight. Today we're changing the addresses of our DNS servers.įirst and foremost - don't worry, the old addresses aren't going anywhere just yet. It's free to use and easy to configure: no wonder it became a favorite for so many people. But AdGuard DNS stands out as one that's accessible by anyone who owns literally any device that can connect to the Internet. We have a lot of AdGuard products: ad blockers and VPNs, paid and free, for different operating systems and for users with different needs. Let's make one thing clear straight away: if you're using AdGuard DNS as DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS (and that's probably true if you have configured AdGuard DNS via our ad blocking or VPN apps), nothing will change for you those addresses stay the same.
