About Google Public DNS

Google Public DNS is a domain name resolution service developed and operated by Google. It went into service on 3 December 2009 and is offered free of charge. Its official site is developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/. The service is widely known by the addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, along with the IPv6 addresses 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844.
Google Public DNS is a free name resolution service run by Google. Many people know it by its addresses, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. This page tracks its current status and recent incident reports. If pages load slowly or fail to resolve at all, check here first before changing anything on your own network.
Google Public DNS is a Domain Name System service offered by Google. It translates domain names like example.com into the IP addresses devices need to connect. Google launched it in December 2009, and it now serves users worldwide. The primary addresses are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, with IPv6 equivalents at 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844. When DNS breaks, the symptoms are distinctive. Websites fail to open by name even though your connection itself works. Apps time out with network errors. One useful check: if the failure affects every site rather than a single one, DNS is a likely suspect. On your side, confirm the device still uses 8.8.8.8 in its network settings. Restart your router or renew your network configuration, since cached failures can linger. A second resolver configured as a fallback also helps you tell a local problem from a service one.

How do I know if the problem is my DNS settings and not my internet connection?
