Starhub DNS

[davidktw]

so is it safe to conclude, that OpenDNS is more recommended here than the DNS servers assigned by the providers? i would believe that in terms of routing, the ISP provided DNS are the fastest you can reach. question is the quality of their DNS setup/service, not sure if you got doubts on your provider, but I believe OpenDNS specializes in that (DNS setup/service quality).

so, what do you think?

No for most consumers, stick with the ISP DNS servers. They should give you the best user experience, unless you are like some others whom is interested in DNSSEC.

Since Akamai is one of the most popular CDN globally and used by a lot of sites, and given they did not implement the right feature to support external DNS servers, your best bet is stick with your local ISP DNS servers.

Anybody can recommend a local DNS to use? I'm currently on M1 and it seems that the provided DNS is not responding well.

Another question, can I use across ISPs? So for example I put my primary as M1 and the secondary as Starhub?

Change your DNS to OpenDNS

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Are these servers still valid?
what is 203.116.1.78?

You could just use google's 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 or cloudflare's 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1

At least they aren't so hard to remember.

PS: Your necro skills damn power. 11yo thread.

1 Run your own DNS resolver if you're a power user

2 Set router default to 8.8.8.8 (Google), 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
