Changing your router's default DNS to Cloudflare can enhance security and speed. It helps protect against certain threats and improves load balancing. It is generally safe if you follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

I handled it myself. It speeds up DNS requests more than my ISP's system, which helps websites load quicker. Regarding safety, the risk level is comparable whether you use Cloudflare, OpenDNS, Google, or stick with your ISP's service. In each case, you're relying on a major company—just pick the one that suits you.

That's a fair comment; I appreciate the feedback and will examine it closely. Likely to consider changing my approach.

For me, nothing speeds up more than my ISP's built-in DNS servers. I've checked this several times in recent years and haven't found any need to change.

If your ISP is performing its duties correctly, they should be reliable. However, ISPs are more likely to make mistakes or have poor server upkeep.

You might consider using namebench to check which DNS works best. However, the gap is usually very small, and responses are often stored in cache, so the only noticeable change happens when visiting a new site that day. Switching DNS doesn’t really speed up browsing overall.
