So, this is the scenario. You are using some local ISP which has its own DNS server fulfilling your DNS requests but to speed things up and not rely upon a DNS server which is updated less frequently. For that purpose,we can switch our computer’s DNS to some other public DNS like Google’s or Cloudflare DNS.
Step 1: Right click the Network Icon in your task bar.
Step 2: Choose “Open Network & Sharing Settings“
Step 3: Click on “Change Adapter Options“
Step 4: Right click on the active hardware and select “properties“
