Is it OK if i added Google public DNS settings to my connections? Hi!
I have ZTE WiFi+Wire router and i connect my PC to that router via Ethernet cable also I connect my phone (android) to the same router via its WiFi connection. I have a ADSL connection (wire connection). I want to know is it OK and is it a safe, using Google public DNS server settings with all my devices? I already added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my router as primary and secondary DNS server. Also i added those address to my PC (IPV4 connectivity) and phone WiFi connection DNS server.
After I added these settings my connection stability improve (quickly connected) with the internet. | My System Specs |

I also use Google's DNS server, as my ISP's DNS servers have intermittent issues. Another choice is OpenDNS and I believe Norton has implemented a three-level tiered approach with DNS servers that make an attempt in securing your internet browsing by blocking some questionable sites. I think they range from basic security that is the least restrictive, to a high-level security which is the most restrictive. I've yet to play around with Norton's DNS servers, but I plan to when I have time. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.5GHz Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4) @1866MHz Graphics Card Intel HD4000 Sound Card Onboard Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell S2309W Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Max Nighthawk X8 Mechanical keyboard Mouse Logitech MX 500 Wired PSU Seasonic X750 80+ Gold Full Modular Case Antec Eleven Hundred Super Mid Tower Cooling Intel Liquid Cooler Hard Drives Samsung 830 128GB SSD - OS

Make sure you read up on the various security measures of the Norton DNS server. As I said before, I've not read up on it a great deal, and have never used them before. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.5GHz Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4) @1866MHz Graphics Card Intel HD4000 Sound Card Onboard Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell S2309W Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Max Nighthawk X8 Mechanical keyboard Mouse Logitech MX 500 Wired PSU Seasonic X750 80+ Gold Full Modular Case Antec Eleven Hundred Super Mid Tower Cooling Intel Liquid Cooler Hard Drives Samsung 830 128GB SSD - OS

I use it 24 hours and there's no negative effect. So i decided to use it continue. I think it's a good service, specially person who have kids. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Intel DG31PR (Intel Dual core 2.5 E5200 @ 2.5GHz) OS windows7 Ultimate SP1 x32bit CPU Intel Motherboard Intel DG31PR Memory Kinsgton 1GB an Transcend 2GB Graphics Card Intel- onboard Sound Card Intel- onboard Monitor(s) Displays ViewSonic LCD Widescreen 19 Screen Resolution 1400x900 Keyboard Seemo Mouse Prolink PSU Legend Case Legend Cooling Intel Hard Drives Samsung 256GB Internet Speed Download Speed-512Kbps, Upload Speed-128Kbps (ADSL wired) Other Info UPS- Prolink Pro650s
