What are the Google Public DNS server addresses?

The standard IPv4 addresses are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Google also provides IPv6 addresses, including 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844.

Does Google Public DNS make my internet connection faster?

It can change how quickly domain names are resolved, but it cannot increase the bandwidth of your internet connection. Performance varies by location, ISP, cache state, and the resolver you are replacing.

Does Google Public DNS support encrypted DNS?

Yes, Google Public DNS supports DNS-over-HTTPS through dns.google and DNS-over-TLS on port 853. Encrypted DNS protects the DNS exchange, but it does not turn the connection into a VPN or hide all traffic from the network provider.

How do I set Google Public DNS on a home network?

Enter 8.8.8.8 as the primary resolver and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary resolver in the router’s DNS settings. This can apply to many devices at once, but some ISP routers prevent manual DNS changes.
