In this article, well explain the differences between using a Secure DNS (like SafeServe) and our FastVPN service. While both improve your security, they work in very different ways.
The Basics
-
DNS (Domain Name System): The "phonebook of the internet" that translates names like nixzoehost.com into numeric IP addresses.
-
Secure DNS: A service that replaces your internet provider's (ISP) default settings to ensure your website requests are faster and more private.
-
VPN (Virtual Private Network): A secure, encrypted "tunnel" that hides your entire online identity and activity from everyoneincluding your ISP.
How Secure DNS Works
Normally, your ISP sees every website you try to visit because they handle your DNS requests. By using a Secure DNS, you bypass your ISP.
Why use it?
-
Faster Browsing: Often faster than standard ISP servers.
-
Basic Privacy: Hides your DNS queries so your ISP doesn't keep a log of the sites you visit.
-
No Software Needed: Can be configured directly in your device or router settings for free.
-
Security: Reduces the risk of "Man-in-the-Middle" attacks where hackers redirect you to fake websites.
How FastVPN Works
Our FastVPN app creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and our global servers. It doesn't just change your DNS; it changes your entire IP address and scrambles your data into unreadable code.
Why use it?
-
Total Encryption: Everything you dobanking, chatting, streamingis hidden.
-
Change Your Location: Appear as if you are browsing from a different country to access restricted content.
-
Anonymity: Your real IP address is hidden, making it nearly impossible for websites to track your physical location.
-
Public Wi-Fi Safety: Essential for using Wi-Fi at coffee shops or airports where hackers often steal data.
