Did exactly this, especially after reading the DNS is 1.1.1.1 Sadly, my office internet uses that address as a login site to enable internet access 🤦🏻♂
Eh, people just love to rag on Linus for every reason they can think of. Some are having fun with him and his quirks (e.g. "Linus Drop Tips" or "sandals with socks" comments), some are asshole trolls just spewing out bullshit. As for this video, the topic is about how a faster DNS server can speed up the beginning of loading webpages. Which is absolutely true. Faster DNS queries lead to earlier webserver queries, even if it is less than half a second per query. Although the title is clickbait, there's no actual claim that your download speeds will increase, because they won't. Once you're connected to the server, DNS does nothing. Personally, I don't use third-party DNS servers for speed. I just don't trust my ISP at all (Cox Communications), and I trust free Wifi hotspots even less. Obviously, they can still track me if they have the systems in place for reverse DNS lookup, but maybe they're not bothering with that because hey extra work for minimal benefit. (Just a side note: Although I have used Cloudflare DNS in the past, as well as OpenDNS and Google Public DNS, my current preferred service is Quad9. That may change in the future, or I may just rotate services on a regular basis.)
Also you need to enable programs in firewall so,that firewall would not slow your internet speed. Enable Private and Public in firewall section and then your speed could get faster. I hope you are using windows 10 pro. 64 Bit.
That should be the case definitely, as the games do not require as much data per sec.. depending on the game as well sometimes... The game requests only what is required and it is generally 100 KBs of data per sec.. so naturally it doesn't use all that 1.5MBps just 0.1MBps would do good Actually the gaming speed depends on the latency of your server (depending on your location or your ISP etc.) and the specs of your network drive.. check out their video on latency to get more info on that.
@@phor8510 I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm surprised that your downloads were affected by a new DNS lookup. It's job is done when the download starts
it shouldn't change and unlike what a lot of people say 1.1.1.1 is not always faster it depends on your connection, for example i have 50ms ping with 8.8.8.8 but 100ms with 1.1.1.1 now if i change my dns from 8.8.8.8 to 1.1.1.1, i have to wait 50 milliseconds more when i'm opening up webpages (if it's cached) this method is a scam only change your dns if you hate your current dns provider's privacy policy or it blocks some website or it's located so much far away that your ping to it sucks so bad but this is not the case for most people 8.8.8.8 is already good enough and ISP's dns are most of the time is the fastest even though they're not recommended because they may not be as reliable as a google or cloudflare and might block some content If you still wanna change your dns server, try using a dns benchmark tool like "dnsbench" or "dnsjumper" and see which one is fastest for you
It won't change your bandwidth just your lookup query time. Which will speed things up a bit. IMO bandwidth is King. If you need to go fast buy more bandwidth.
"Are you mad? Nothing can run Crysis." I read that comment a long time ago. A masterpiece I refuse to take credit for. Only wish to share. I think it's very funny!
SilverMight Just think... in the future, we will all be able to print out better routers for our nano 3D printers using instruction designs we downloaded online...
Sam Most of those were about faster networking, not faster Internet. Big difference. Also, if new technologies come out, why shouldn't be make another video on the topic?
Yeah, but at least on Spectrum this method seems to have actually jumped me up a few Mbps extra download from the Google DNS I'd been using previously... just sayin'. (Disclaimer: tested on Speedtest.net and just because it worked for me doesn't mean it is gonna work for everybody)
L W Your internet speed can vary depending on the time of day, because when more people in your area are using the web, it slows it down a little bit for everyone (at least for cable internet).
When you get this recomended now and you just imidietly notice how old it is by linus style change. Linus you are a true living chronometer. Also this allows the access to some shady internet sites
I actually tested this using my Xbox Series X, since it displays Download/Upload/Latency and Packet loss. On my old setting, it was 89.80 Mbps download, 10.12 Mbps upload, 114 ms latency, with 5% packet loss. Using your new setting, I lost a little on download, but my upload and latency improved. 88.84 Mbps download, 11.67 upload, 69 ms latency, and 0% packet loss.
Increase your computer internet speed 5 times over with this simple trick! Router manufacturers hate this! Just plug your Ethernet cable directly into your computer. There, now your internet is way faster and lower latency.
Even $500 router cannot compete with $5 patch cord. That's just the fact of the matter. The only reason to even have wifi is to connect your cell phone to your wired internet, and even then you run a cable from the router to the computer, not use wifi radio.
I can’t connect my router with a wire because my computer isn’t by the satellite and I can’t move my computer there: and I have a really good router but I live in the middle of nowhere connection wise. So this stuff is the best I can do
It honestly could be a publicity stunt, Cloudflare already has the network infrastructure for it (so it isn't costing them much). If they can get their name out to significantly more people then it might be worth it.
glad you're out there making these videos; i've been using "1dot" for a couple years, but it's great to hear your explanations of how things work--concise, informative. ...and that poor guy sitting at his laptop while your camera person invaded their 'privacy' was hilarious.
Surprising that my hometown Montgomery got this, I tried it and didn't get 10ms response time, but it was the fastest out of all the DNS servers on the benchmark. I'm really surprised and happy about this.
Parker Stephens everywhere its the fastest. DNS servers are setup everywhere, unlike ISPs. I live in Nowhere, Wisconsin and I get 15ms latency which is a lot better than the 50 I got by using default gateways, compared to having this 20mbps Internet vs Pittsburgh having Verizon FioS

Eh, people just love to rag on Linus for every reason they can think of. Some are having fun with him and his quirks (e.g. "Linus Drop Tips" or "sandals with socks" comments), some are asshole trolls just spewing out bullshit.
As for this video, the topic is about how a faster DNS server can speed up the beginning of loading webpages. Which is absolutely true. Faster DNS queries lead to earlier webserver queries, even if it is less than half a second per query. Although the title is clickbait, there's no actual claim that your download speeds will increase, because they won't. Once you're connected to the server, DNS does nothing.
Personally, I don't use third-party DNS servers for speed. I just don't trust my ISP at all (Cox Communications), and I trust free Wifi hotspots even less. Obviously, they can still track me if they have the systems in place for reverse DNS lookup, but maybe they're not bothering with that because hey extra work for minimal benefit.
(Just a side note: Although I have used Cloudflare DNS in the past, as well as OpenDNS and Google Public DNS, my current preferred service is Quad9. That may change in the future, or I may just rotate services on a regular basis.)

Whenever I'm downloading the internet speed is 1.1mb/s - 1.5mb/s
Whenever I'm playing video games the speed 700b/s 40kb/s
Also you need to enable programs in firewall so,that firewall would not slow your internet speed. Enable Private and Public in firewall section and then your speed could get faster. I hope you are using windows 10 pro. 64 Bit.
That should be the case definitely, as the games do not require as much data per sec.. depending on the game as well sometimes...
The game requests only what is required and it is generally 100 KBs of data per sec.. so naturally it doesn't use all that 1.5MBps just 0.1MBps would do good
Actually the gaming speed depends on the latency of your server (depending on your location or your ISP etc.) and the specs of your network drive.. check out their video on latency to get more info on that.
I’m getting 0.20 to 0.40 mbps
Do you have frontier too
I only get 90mb/s on a good day... very sad because I should be getting 98 dl
This just made my speed twice, triple, even quadruple times slower.
same here. i tried it and everything seems to load and download slower than before.

"Now, why is your privacy important"
I did this “trick” and literally nothing changed in speed
better than my results, it tanked my download speed significantly
@@phor8510 I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm surprised that your downloads were affected by a new DNS lookup. It's job is done when the download starts
it shouldn't change and unlike what a lot of people say 1.1.1.1 is not always faster it depends on your connection, for example i have 50ms ping with 8.8.8.8 but 100ms with 1.1.1.1
now if i change my dns from 8.8.8.8 to 1.1.1.1, i have to wait 50 milliseconds more when i'm opening up webpages (if it's cached)
this method is a scam
only change your dns if you hate your current dns provider's privacy policy or it blocks some website or it's located so much far away that your ping to it sucks so bad
but this is not the case for most people
8.8.8.8 is already good enough and ISP's dns are most of the time is the fastest even though they're not recommended because they may not be as reliable as a google or cloudflare and might block some content
If you still wanna change your dns server, try using a dns benchmark tool like "dnsbench" or "dnsjumper" and see which one is fastest for you
It won't change your bandwidth just your lookup query time. Which will speed things up a bit. IMO bandwidth is King. If you need to go fast buy more bandwidth.

Sam Most of those were about faster networking, not faster Internet. Big difference. Also, if new technologies come out, why shouldn't be make another video on the topic?
Yeah, but at least on Spectrum this method seems to have actually jumped me up a few Mbps extra download from the Google DNS I'd been using previously... just sayin'.
(Disclaimer: tested on Speedtest.net and just because it worked for me doesn't mean it is gonna work for everybody)
L W Your internet speed can vary depending on the time of day, because when more people in your area are using the web, it slows it down a little bit for everyone (at least for cable internet).

I actually tested this using my Xbox Series X, since it displays Download/Upload/Latency and Packet loss. On my old setting, it was 89.80 Mbps download, 10.12 Mbps upload, 114 ms latency, with 5% packet loss.
Using your new setting, I lost a little on download, but my upload and latency improved. 88.84 Mbps download, 11.67 upload, 69 ms latency, and 0% packet loss.

Increase your computer internet speed 5 times over with this simple trick! Router manufacturers hate this!
Just plug your Ethernet cable directly into your computer. There, now your internet is way faster and lower latency.
Even $500 router cannot compete with $5 patch cord. That's just the fact of the matter. The only reason to even have wifi is to connect your cell phone to your wired internet, and even then you run a cable from the router to the computer, not use wifi radio.

It honestly could be a publicity stunt, Cloudflare already has the network infrastructure for it (so it isn't costing them much). If they can get their name out to significantly more people then it might be worth it.

Parker Stephens everywhere its the fastest. DNS servers are setup everywhere, unlike ISPs. I live in Nowhere, Wisconsin and I get 15ms latency which is a lot better than the 50 I got by using default gateways, compared to having this 20mbps Internet vs Pittsburgh having Verizon FioS
