Google DNS servers, which are standard on most Android phones, are recording what you do and as such Google should not be a choice when it comes to privacy. Your signal might slow when watching too many videos via your ISP, ever wonder why? Worse than that is that they can then share, modify or intercept and replace your requests any way they want.

The central issue is that most people do not appreciate that DNS providers (your own ISP, Google, Cloudflare etc.) can see everything you do on the internet. Most descriptions of DNS use the analogy of a phone book, which is fine for people over the age of 30 who know what a phone book is. The numbers, in this case, are IP addresses, which computers use to communicate with each other. The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the foundations of the internet, yet most people outside of networking probably don’t realize they use it every day to do their jobs, check their email or waste time on their smartphones.Īt its most basic, DNS is a directory of names that match with numbers. Most people are not aware what DNS is or what it does.
