In this tutorial, I will be demonstrating how changing the DNS settings can really make a difference. Today, we will be setting the DNS server to OpenDNS which is a free DNS server which is not only fast and efficient but has great protection and security.

Visit the OpenDNS website:

  • Should you restart?

  • @Teemuzjouz It's advisable, but not necessary.

  • You know that your internet is slow as hell, when you watch this video and it's all calming with your voice and the music. Yet still want to rip the fucking head off of a Chicken!

    WTF!? I pay for 50mb from VirginMedia. I get about 1MB. I think it's just that I live in a shit fucking house in a shit area with shit internet.

  • @eldiablo9604 That does suck man. Unfortunately the government and FCC don't know how to prevent client abuse from ISP's.
