最近你的网速让你做噩梦了吗？如果您在浏览时遇到速度缓慢的问题，那么您需要切换到 OpenDNS 或 Google DNS 以使您的互联网再次变得更快。(Has your internet speed been giving you nightmares as of late? If you’re experiencing slow speed while browsing then you need to switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS in order to make your internet fast again.)
如果购物网站的加载速度不够快，您无法在商品缺货之前将它们添加到购物车中，那么可爱的猫狗视频很少会在YouTube 上播放而无需(YouTube)缓冲(buffering)，通常，您会使用远程电话参加缩放通话会议伙计，但只能在屏幕显示他们 15-20 分钟前做的同一张脸时听到他们说话，那么您可能是时候更改您的域名系统(System)（(Domain)通常缩写为DNS）。
你问什么是域名系统(Domain Name System)？域名系统(Domain Name System)就像互联网的电话簿，它们将网站与相应的IP 地址(IP addresses)相匹配，并有助于根据您的请求显示它们，从一个DNS服务器切换到另一个 DNS 服务器不仅可以提高您的浏览速度，还可以上网冲浪在您的系统上更加安全。
如何在 Windows 上切换到 OpenDNS 或 Google DNS？(How to Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Windows?)
在本文中，我们将讨论相同的内容，介绍几个可用的DNS服务器选项，并学习如何在Windows和Mac上切换到更快、更好、更安全的(Mac)域名系统(Domain Name System)。
什么是域名系统？(What Is A Domain Name System? )
与往常一样，我们首先对手头的主题进行更多了解。
互联网基于 IP 地址工作，要在互联网上执行任何类型的搜索，都需要输入这些复杂且难以记住的数字序列。如前所述，域名(Domain Name) 系统(Systems)或DNS将 IP 地址转换为我们经常在搜索栏中输入的易于记忆且有意义的域名。(DNS)DNS服务器的工作方式是每次我们输入域名时，系统都会搜索/映射域名到相应的 IP 地址，并将其取回我们的 Web 浏览器。
域名(Domain)系统通常由我们的互联网服务提供商 ( ISP(ISPs) ) 分配。他们设置的服务器通常是稳定且值得信赖的。但这是否意味着它们也是目前最快、最好的DNS服务器？不必要。
您分配的默认DNS服务器可能会被来自多个用户的流量阻塞，使用一些效率低下的软件，严重的是，它甚至可能正在跟踪您的互联网活动。
幸运的是，您可以跨各种平台轻松切换到另一个更公开、更快、更安全的DNS服务器。(DNS)一些最流行和最常用的DNS服务器包括OpenDNS、GoogleDNS和Cloudflare。他们每个人都有自己的优点和缺点。
Cloudflare DNS服务器（1.1.1.1 和 1.0.0.1）被多个测试人员誉为最快的服务器，并且还具有内置的安全功能。使用GoogleDNS服务器（8.8.8.8 和 8.8.4.4），您可以获得类似的保证，通过附加的安全功能获得更快的网络浏览体验（所有 IP 日志将在 48 小时内删除）。最后，我们有OpenDNS（208.67.222.222 和 208.67.220.220），它是最古老、运行时间最长的DNS服务器之一。但是，OpenDNS要求用户创建一个帐户才能访问服务器及其功能；专注于网站过滤和儿童安全。他们还提供了一些带有附加功能的付费套餐。
您可能想尝试的另一对DNS服务器是(DNS)Quad9服务器（9.9.9.9 和 149.112.112.112）。这些再次优先考虑快速连接和安全性。据称，安全系统/威胁情报是从全球十多家领先的网络安全公司那里借来的。

如何在 Windows 10 上切换域名系统 (DNS)？(How to Switch Domain Name System (DNS) on Windows 10?)
有几种方法（准确地说是三种）可以在Windows PC 上切换到(Windows)OpenDNS或Google DNS，我们将在本文中介绍这些方法。第一个涉及通过控制面板更改适配器设置，第二个使用命令提示符，最后一个方法（可能是最简单的方法）让我们进入 Windows 设置。好的(Okay)，不用多说，让我们现在就开始吧。
方法一：使用控制面板(Method 1: Using Control Panel)
1. 很明显，我们首先打开系统上的控制面板。为此，请按键盘上的Windows键（或单击任务栏上的开始菜单图标）并键入控制面板。找到后，按回车键或单击右侧面板中的打开(Open)。
2. 在控制面板下，找到网络和共享中心(Network and Sharing Center)，然后单击打开。
注意：(Note:)在某些旧版本的Windows中，网络(Network)和共享中心(Sharing Center)包含在网络(Network)和Internet选项下。因此，首先打开网络(Network)和Internet窗口，然后找到并单击网络(Network)和共享中心(Sharing Center)。
3. 在左侧面板中，单击列表顶部显示的更改适配器设置。(Change Adapter Settings)
4. 在以下屏幕中，您将看到系统先前连接或当前连接的项目列表。这包括蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接、以太网和 wifi 连接等。 右键单击(Right-click)您的 Internet 网络连接的名称并选择Properties。
5. 从显示的属性列表中，通过单击标签检查并选择Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) 选择后，单击同一面板中的“属性(Properties )”按钮。
6. 这是我们输入首选DNS服务器地址的地方。首先(First)，通过单击“使用以下 DNS 服务器地址”(“Use the following DNS server addresses”)启用使用自定义DNS服务器的选项。
7. 现在输入您的首选 DNS(Preferred DNS)服务器和备用DNS服务器。
- 要使用Google Public DNS ，请分别在(Google Public DNS)首选 DNS(Preferred DNS)服务器和备用 DNS(Alternate DNS)服务器部分下输入值8.8.8.8 和 8.8.4.4 。(8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
- 要使用 OpenDNS，请输入值208.67.222.222 和 208.67.220.220(208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)。
- 您还可以考虑通过输入以下地址1.1.1.1 和 1.0.0.1(1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1)来尝试Cloudflare DNS
可选步骤：(Optional Step:)您还可以同时拥有两个以上的DNS地址。
a) 为此，首先，单击“高级...(Advanced…) ”按钮。
b)接下来(Next)，切换到DNS选项卡并单击添加...(Add…)
c) 在以下弹出框中，键入您要使用的DNS服务器的地址，然后按 Enter（或单击(DNS)Add）。
8. 最后，点击OK按钮保存我们刚刚所做的所有更改，然后点击Close。
这是在 Windows 10 上切换到 OpenDNS 或 Google DNS 的最佳方法，(switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Windows 10,)但如果此方法不适合您，那么您可以尝试下一种方法。
方法 2：使用命令提示符(Method 2: Using Command Prompt)
1.我们首先以管理员身份运行(Administrator)命令提示符(Command Prompt)。通过在开始菜单中搜索命令提示符(Command Prompt)来执行此操作，右键单击名称并选择以管理员身份运行。 (Run As Administrator. )或者，同时按键盘上的Windows key + X 并单击Command Prompt (Admin)。
2. 输入命令netsh并按回车键更改网络设置(Network Settings)。接下来(Next)，输入interface show interface以获取网络适配器的名称。
3. 现在，要更改您的DNS服务器，请键入以下命令并按 Enter：
interface ip set dns name="Interface-Name" source="static" address="X.X.X.X"
在上面的命令中，首先将“Interface-Name”替换为我们在之前名称中获得的相应接口名称，然后将“XXXX”替换为您要使用的DNS服务器的地址。各种DNS服务器的IP地址可以在方法一的步骤6中找到。
4. 要添加备用DNS服务器地址，请键入以下命令并按 Enter。
interface ip add dns name=”Interface-Name” addr=”X.X.X.X” index=2
同样，将“Interface-Name”替换为相应的名称，将“XXXX”替换为备用DNS服务器地址。
5. 要添加额外的DNS服务器，请重复上一条命令并将索引值替换为 3，并为每个新条目将索引值增加 1。例如 interface ip add dns name=”Interface-Name” addr=”X.X.X.X” index=3)

方法 3：使用 Windows 10 设置(Method 3: Using Windows 10 Settings )
1. 通过在搜索栏中搜索或按键盘上的Windows key + X并单击设置来打开设置(Settings)。（或者，Windows Key + I会直接打开设置。）
2. 在“设置”(Settings)窗口中，查找“网络和 Internet”(Network & Internet)并单击打开。
3. 从左侧面板中显示的项目列表中，单击WiFi或以太网(Ethernet )，具体取决于您获得 Internet 连接的方式。
4. 现在从右侧面板中，双击您的网络连接(network connection)名称以打开选项。
5. 找到标题IP 设置( IP settings)，然后单击标签下的编辑按钮。(Edit )
6. 从出现的下拉列表中，选择手动(Manual )以能够手动切换到不同的DNS服务器。
7. 现在通过单击图标打开IPv4 开关。(IPv4 switch)
8. 最后，在标有相同的文本框中键入首选 DNS 服务器和备用 DNS 服务器的 IP 地址。( type the IP addresses of your preferred DNS server and an alternate DNS server)
（各种DNS服务器的IP地址可以在方法一的步骤6中找到）
9. 点击保存(Save)，关闭设置并重启电脑，返回时享受更快的网页浏览体验。
虽然这三种方法中最简单的，但这种方法确实有几个缺点。该列表包括一个可以输入的有限数量（只有两个）DNS地址（前面讨论的方法允许用户添加多个DNS地址）以及新配置仅在执行系统重新启动时适用的事实。
在 Mac 上切换到 OpenDNS 或 Google DNS(Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Mac )
在此过程中，我们还将向您展示如何在 Mac 上切换DNS服务器，不用担心，与(DNS)Windows上的相比，该过程要简单得多。
1. 点击屏幕左上角的Apple标志打开(Apple)Apple菜单，然后点击System Preferences...
2. 在System Preferences菜单中，查找并单击Network（应该在第三行中可用）。
3. 在这里，点击位于网络(Network)面板右下角的高级…按钮。(Advanced…)
4. 切换到DNS选项卡并单击DNS服务器框下方的 + 按钮以添加新服务器。输入您要使用的DNS服务器的 IP 地址，然后按OK完成。
推荐：(Recommended:) 在 Windows、Linux 或 Mac 上更改您的 MAC 地址(Change Your MAC Address on Windows, Linux or Mac)
我希望上述教程对您有所帮助，并且使用上述任何一种方法，您都可以在Windows 10上轻松切换到(Windows 10)OpenDNS或Google DNS。切换到不同的DNS服务器可以帮助您恢复更快的互联网速度并减少加载时间（和挫败感）。如果您在遵循上述指南时遇到任何问题/困难，请在下面的评论部分与我们联系，我们将尽力为您解决。
How to Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Windows
Has your internet speed been giving you nightmares as of late? If you’re experiencing slow speed while browsing then you need to switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS in order to make your internet fast again.
If shopping websites don’t load up fast enough for you to add things to your cart before they run out of stock, cute cat and dog videos rarely play without buffering on YouTube and in general, you attend zoom call sessions with your long-distance mate but can only hear them talk while the screen displays the same face they made 15-20 mins ago then it might be time for you to change your Domain Name System (more commonly abbreviated as DNS).
What is a Domain Name System you ask? A Domain Name System is like the phonebook for the internet, they match websites to their corresponding IP addresses and aid in displaying them on your request, and switching from one DNS server to another can not only increase your browsing speed and but also make internet surfing on your system a lot more secure.
How to Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Windows?
In this article, we will discuss the same, go over a couple of available DNS server options and learn how to switch to a faster, better and safer Domain Name System on Windows and Mac.
What Is A Domain Name System?
As always, we start by learning a little more about the subject at hand.
The internet works on IP addresses and to perform any kind of search on the internet one needs to enter these complex and difficult to remember series of numbers. Domain Name Systems or DNS, as mentioned earlier, translates IP addresses into easy to remember and meaningful domain names that we frequently enter into the search bar. The way a DNS server works is every time we type in a domain name, the system searches/maps the domain name to a corresponding IP address and fetches it back to our web browser.
Domain name systems are ordinarily assigned by our internet service providers (ISPs). The servers they set are usually stable and trustworthy. But does that mean they are also the fastest and best DNS servers out there? Not necessarily.
The default DNS server you have been assigned may be clogged with traffic from multiple users, making use of some inefficient software and on a serious note, may even be tracking your internet activity.
Fortunately, you can switch to another, more public, faster and safer DNS server quite easily across various platforms. Some of the most popular and used DNS servers out there include OpenDNS, GoogleDNS and Cloudflare. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Cloudflare DNS servers (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) are hailed as the fastest servers by multiple testers and also have built-in security features. With GoogleDNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), you get a similar assurance for a faster web browsing experience with added security features (All IP logs are deleted within 48 hours). Finally, we have OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220), one of the oldest and longest operating DNS servers. However, OpenDNS requires the user to create an account in order to access the server and its features; which are focused on website filtering and kid safety. They also offer a couple of paid packages with additional features.
Another pair of DNS servers you might want to try are the Quad9 servers (9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112). These again give preference to a speedy fast connection and security. The security system/threat intelligence is claimed to be borrowed from more than a dozen leading cybersecurity companies across the globe.

How to Switch Domain Name System (DNS) on Windows 10?
There are a few methods (three to be precise) to switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Windows PC that we will be covering in this particular article. The first one involves changing adapter settings via the control panel, the second one makes use of the command prompt and the last method (and probably the easiest of all) has us heading into the windows settings. Okay without any further ado, let’s dive right into it now.
Method 1: Using Control Panel
1. As obvious, we start off by opening the control panel on our systems. To do so, press the Windows key on your keyboard (or click on the start menu icon on your taskbar) and type control panel. Once found, hit enter or click on Open in the right panel.
2. Under Control Panel, locate Network and Sharing Center and click on the same to open.
Note: In some older version of Windows, the Network and Sharing Center is included under Network and Internet option. So start by opening the Network and Internet window then locate & click on Network and Sharing Center.
3. From the left-hand panel, click on Change Adapter Settings displayed at the top of the list.
4. In the following screen, you will see a list of items your system has previously connected to or is currently connected to. This includes Bluetooth connections, ethernet and wifi connections, etc. Right-click on the name of your internet network connection and select Properties.
5. From the list of displayed properties, check and select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) by clicking on the label. Once selected, click on the Properties button in the same panel.
6. This is where we enter the address of our preferred DNS server. First, enable the option to use a custom DNS server by clicking on “Use the following DNS server addresses”.
7. Now enter your Preferred DNS server and an alternate DNS server.
- To use Google Public DNS, enter the value 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 under the Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server sections respectively.
- To use OpenDNS, enter the values 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
- You could also consider trying Cloudflare DNS by entering the following address 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
Optional Step: You can also have more than two DNS addresses at the same time.
a) To do so, first, click on the “Advanced…” button.
b) Next, switch to the DNS tab and click on Add…
c) In the following pop-up box, type the address of the DNS server you would like to use and press enter (or click on Add).
8. Finally, click on the OK button to save all the changes we just made and then click on Close.
This is the best way to switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Windows 10, but if this method is not working for you then you can try the next method.
Method 2: Using Command Prompt
1. We start by running Command Prompt as Administrator. Do so by searching for Command Prompt in the start menu, right-click on the name and select Run As Administrator. Alternatively, press the Windows key + X on your keyboard simultaneously and click on Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Type the command netsh and press enter to change Network Settings. Next, type in interface show interface to obtain the names of your network adapters.
3. Now, to change your DNS server, type the following command and press enter:
interface ip set dns name="Interface-Name" source="static" address="X.X.X.X"
In the above command, first, replace “Interface-Name” with your respective interface name that we obtained in the previous name and next, replace “X.X.X.X” with the address of the DNS server you would like to use. IP addresses of various DNS servers can be found in step 6 of method 1.
4. To add an alternate DNS server address, type the following command and hit enter.
interface ip add dns name=”Interface-Name” addr=”X.X.X.X” index=2
Again, replace “Interface-Name” with the respective name and “X.X.X.X” with the alternate DNS server address.
5. To add extra DNS servers, repeat the last command and replace the index value with 3 and increase the index value by 1 for each new entry. For example interface ip add dns name=”Interface-Name” addr=”X.X.X.X” index=3)

Method 3: Using Windows 10 Settings
1. Open up Settings by searching for it in the search bar or pressing Windows key + X on your keyboard and clicking on Settings. (Alternatively, Windows Key + I will directly open settings.)
2. In the Settings windows, look for Network & Internet and click to open.
3. From the list of items displayed in the left panel, click on WiFi or Ethernet depending on how you get your internet connection.
4. Now from the right-side panel, double-click on your network connection name to open options.
5. Locate the heading IP settings and click on the Edit button under the label.
6. From the drop-down that appears, select Manual to be able to manually switch to a different DNS server.
7. Now toggle on the IPv4 switch by clicking on the icon.
8. Finally, type the IP addresses of your preferred DNS server and an alternate DNS server in the text boxes labeled the same.
(IP addresses of various DNS servers can be found in step 6 of method 1)
9. Click on Save, close settings and perform a computer restart to enjoy a faster web browsing experience on return.
While the easiest of the three, this method does have a couple of drawbacks. The list includes the limited number (only two) of DNS addresses one can enter (the methods discussed earlier let the user add multiple DNS addresses) and the fact that the new configurations only apply when a system restart is performed.
Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS on Mac
While we are at it, we will also show you how to switch your DNS server on a mac and worry not, the process is a lot simpler compared to the ones on Windows.
1. Click on the Apple logo at the top left corner of your screen to open the Apple menu and proceed by clicking on System Preferences…
2. In the System Preferences menu, look for and click on Network (Should be available in the third row).
3. Over here, click on the Advanced… button located at the bottom right of the Network panel.
4. Switch to the DNS tab and click on the + button below the DNS servers box to add new servers. Type in the IP address of the DNS servers you would like to use and press on OK to finish.
