Today I will be introducing you TreeWalk DNS. What is that you say? TreeWalk DNS is actually a DNS caching software for your PC. You know, when you type in an URL into your browser, it sort of changes to a few numbers called IP address in order for you to get to the site. Something is needed to “resolve” that URL or domain into IP address. These are called DNS Servers which stores part of these information. Part only? Yes, not complete. So if your DNS Server doesn’t have that address, it will “refer” to another that it thinks will have. But if that DNS server doesn’t have it too, it will refer to another and so on.
Okay, so what does this DNS Caching software does? It acts as an DNS Server by storing these addresses for you. So once it knows the address, it will no longer need to ask your ISP’s DNS Servers anymore (for a certain amount of time). Thus improving the speed of your surfing. Furthermore, Treewalk DNS can be “tweaked” to act as an authoritative DNS Server as well! This means that it can store addresses which other DNS servers can request information from. Yes, this is a pretty nice software and did I mention it is available for free?
