How To Use Google Public DNS

Google recently introduced the Public DNS for Internet users. Anyone can use this public DNS for faster and secure web browsing. If currently you are using DNS provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or Open DNS then you can change the network settings to use Google Public DNS.

 

Google Public DNS IP addresses are :

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

Open DNS IP addresses are:

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

For BSNL Broadband Users in India, DNS IP addresses are,

218.248.240.208

218.248.255.193
