The Domain Name System (DNS) is a naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical (binary) identifiers. For example, www.example.com translates to 192.0.32.10.
Some countries use the domain name system to block access to web contents and other resources. Using a different DNS provider can speed up domain lookup times, reduce web censorship and block custom error pages by the Internet providers.
Here is a list of publicly usable and available Domain Name Servers:
