The DNS or Domain Name System, are one of the most important parts of all events that occur so that we can surf the Internet. They are in charge of doing the work of answering network requests and translating them to an IP address so that your device can connect to a simple address that you can remember, such as Genbeta.com instead of a series of numbers for each site.
The usual thing is that your Internet service provider configures its own DNS on your router, but that does not mean that you cannot change the DNS to the ones of your preference. Doing so can bring you benefits both in security and privacy, it can help you bypass blocks to sites that have been limited through DNS, or even access the Internet at all if your operator's DNS is failing.
If you want to change your DNS, you can do it at the level of the device you are browsing with, and if in this case it is a Windows 10 computer, the process is relatively simple. There are many free and public DNS options that we can use, but for this example, we will use the famous 1.1.1.1 from Cloudflare.
