Increase Speed Internet Access & Security - DNS Jumper

When we opened the address of a website, for example www.google.com, then there is a mechanism (system) that will change the name of the address into the address understood by machines, which is the IP address (Internet Protocol / IP Addresses). The system is regulated by a protocol called Domain Name System / DNS.

With the DNS, then we do not need to remember IP addresses are hard to remember. For example www.google.com will translate into 74.125.200.139. So that we can directly open google by typing the IP address in the URL of the web browser we use. But this is certainly not efficient, because how many addresses like this that we have to memorize? so the DNS role is very important.

When connected to the Internet, it is usually the system (computer) will automatically set the address of the DNS server that will be used to translate the address of the website that we visit. Actually, the DNS settings we can change yourself, because a lot of the DNS addresses that can be used (available), so the faster we access the DNS server, then the faster access to the targeted site.

To help us set the DNS address in our computer, one of the free programs that can be used is DNS Jumper. With this free program and portable, we can check the various existing DNS address and find out how their access speed. So we can choose the fastest DNS server to be used on a computer.

The use of DNS Jumper is quite easy. First we select the devices that we use a network connection (Network Adapter), whether using wired LAN, WiFi, or other. Then click the button with a picture of 'refresh' to see how the DNS server that is currently used in our computer. Click 'Check Response Time' (under DNS Server address) to find out how fast the DNS server access.

We can change the DNS server addresses by selecting the 'Manual DNS Server' and manually input the DNS address below. For more convenience, we can compare the various existing DNS address and choose the fastest. This is how:

Besides finding the fastest DNS server address access, DNS Jumper also provides a menu (button) "Flush DNS" function to clear the DNS cache created by the windows.
