In this Windows 10 guide, we will walk you through the steps to change the DNS settings on your laptop or desktop computer. However, if your resolvers are not reliable, they slow down your internet, or you want to use faster and more private servers, Windows 10 allows you to change these settings using Control Panel, Command Prompt, and Settings app.

Typically, you won't notice this process because everything happens in milliseconds. When the address is found, it returns, and then the browser connects to the site and downloads the page's contents. For me, speed is much more important.Although you can type to get to our website, in the background, the browser first sends a request to the DNS servers to resolve the website name into an IP address. Note: OpenDNS does have it's benefits, however, im behind a router use Internet Security, and block DNS entries w/HostsMan. So switching to OpenDNS, GoogleDNS, or any other would impede my Internet speed. In my situation, my ISP's default DNS servers are actually the fastest. Simply do a 1-time benchmark: and it will give you a list of the top 25 optimal DNS servers for your setup/ISP. In order to find out which DNS service is optimal for your ISP, you must know the speeds.

This is where DNS Benchmark comes into play: (It is, but it's in small letters, and one must do a deep search.) OpenDNS, GoogleDNS, and other public DNS services fail to mention, their DNS service may NOT be optimal for your Internet speed. This application is not getting the credit deserved, so i will give brief synopsis of it's importance:
