Google has announced the launch of Google Public Dns. It’s an alternative domain name service available to any Internet user.
IT can replace the DNS that are typically provided by Internet Service Providers or Domain Registration companies
Google’s Announcement says “Google Public DNS [can] serve many DNS requests in the round trip time it takes a packet to travel to our servers and back… Google Public DNS makes it more difficult for attackers to spoof valid responses by randomizing the case of query names and including additional data in its DNS messages… Google Public DNS complies with the DNS standards and gives the user the exact response his or her computer expects without performing any blocking, filtering, or redirection that may hamper a user’s browsing experience.”
Anyone who wants to give the new service a try and knows how to reconfigure their network settings should use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS addresses.
