DNS Server & DNS Resolver

DNS Resolver

Every time you enter a website address in the browser’s bar, a request is sent to a designated DNS server.
The DNS returns the address of the domain you need.
If the DNS is configured to deny the access to that piece of data, the site you want is not accessible.

Why a local DNS Resolver is a good idea?

By installing your own resolver on the local machine (laptop, desktop, mobile phone), your device will use this resolver directly, making obsolete the ISP's DNS. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has its own DNS but this is invariably biased and most of the time even hard-coded in the router they provide.
This way your searches will be much faster and more accurate.

Top Reasons Why You Need a DNS Resolver

Avid Censorship

There is a big problem in the world of the internet today. This problem is that the organizations regulating and subsequently controlling the internet are a monopoly. A serious challenge is regarding control of the internet DNS (Domain Name System). As the internet continues to become an integral part of not only the global economy but also every individual’s personal lives directly impacting people’s needs, internet freedom and prevention of malicious control and regulation of the internet becomes an ever-more prevalent issue.

Faster and cleaner browsing

If the ISP DNS or other public DNS is used, your searches and their results are logged, processed and manipulated on their own servers. On top of that, they might even add their own adverts or other unsolicited data.
This can incur a considerable overhead which will slow the browsing significancy.
The above scenario is avoided with your on-site DNS Resolver. And you can even set your own customized filters for adds, trackers or other unwanted data.
