Why Should I Change DNS?
DNS (Domain Naming Service) changer translates domain names – like Surfshark.com – to numerical IP addresses that machines use to communicate with each other. Your DNS provider is most likely your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your ISP can see what websites you visit, and store your browsing history.
DNS changer helps to protect your privacy by encrypting your DNS requests and allows you to switch to one of the third party public DNS servers.
