In any case, there is another thing that we can do to make the Internet go faster and it will only take a few minutes: change the DNS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DNS is an important piece when browsing the Internet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DNS (&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakamovil.com\/tutoriales\/servidores-dns-que-como-configurarlos-ios-android-cuales-mejores-rapidos\">Domain Name&nbsp;<\/a><em>System<\/em>&nbsp;)&nbsp;is responsible for translating a domain name that we can easily remember into the IP address associated with a website: thanks to DNS you can open your browser and go to Google by typing the URL of the website instead of entering the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakamovil.com\/conectividad\/direcciones-ip-que-como-funcionan-como-saber-tuya\">IP address<\/a>&nbsp;corresponding to the website.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakamovil.com\/tutoriales\/servidores-dns-que-como-configurarlos-ios-android-cuales-mejores-rapidos\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakamovil.com\/conectividad\/direcciones-ip-que-como-funcionan-como-saber-tuya\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakamovil.com\/tutoriales\/he-configurado-mi-red-wifi-para-impedir-acceso-a-desconocidos-asi-puedes-hacerlo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/b1073c\/router-wifi-seguridad-portada\/375_142.webp\" alt=\"I have configured my WiFi network to prevent access to strangers.

While this is a perfectly valid alternative,&nbsp;<strong>it is not the fastest option<\/strong>&nbsp;: changing the DNS will reduce the time it takes the system to resolve each domain name, which translates into faster loading of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although changing the default DNS to one of the free DNS servers available to us will help us browse the Internet faster, speed is not the only advantage: many alternative DNS servers offer additional benefits, such as greater privacy and&nbsp;<strong>protection against malware, phishing or spyware<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to change DNS on iOS and Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, changing the DNS is a very simple process and&nbsp;<strong>should only take a few minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;.
