Quick Tip Tuesday

You may have heard of DNS, often called the phonebook of the internet. When you want to visit a website, like google.com or ihpacademy.com, DNS tells your device how to get there.

What might surprise you is that you can choose which DNS you use. Some options protect you by blocking all known malicious sites—they simply refuse to tell your device how to get there. It’s like ripping pages out of the phonebook.

But you don’t have to stop there. You can remove all sorts of pages to block nudity, gambling, piracy, social media, and more. It’s up to you.

If you’d like to upgrade your DNS phonebook, just reply to this email and let me know what kind of pages you’d like to rip out!
