If, like it just happened to me tonight, your ISP DNS collapse, you can use openDNS. Just manually change the DNS in /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220
Many thanks Stemp for the tip :)
Edit: ne t’inquiètes pas Stemp, je sais que tu as toujours raison :-þ
Here are some more freely available DNS:
ScrubIt:
67.138.54.100
207.225.209.66
and VIP :) DNS by gtei.net:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
On Ubuntu computer there is a dedicated page about configuration : https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu
On my mind it’s better to use this method.
Sure, but this is a laptop, and my univ has its own DNS servers. For a desktop that does not get connected to very different access points, I agree :)
I am using the OpenDNS DNS-Server for a while now and had very good result with it (it does auto correction for a lot of common typing mistakes for example).
If you use a router I can really recommend using this DNS-Server in your routers configuration so every computer on your local network benefits from it!
