GoogleGoogle has announced Google Public DNS, a new service that lets consumers use Google as their DNS service provider. The benefits to users? Faster and more stable browsing and security against malware sites. The benefit to Google – tons more data, and some potential revenue.

I have been a long time user of OpenDNS. No surprise Open DNS has already made a statement about Google becoming a potential competitor.

To try it out Google Public DNS:

  • Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers.
  • Read our configuration instructions.
