Why Changing DNS Might Improve Gaming (Including Infinite Flight)
Changing your DNS (Domain Name System) server can sometimes improve your gaming experience, even though it doesn’t directly speed up your internet connection. DNS is what translates a website or server name (like infiniteflight.com) into the actual IP address your device connects to.
When you use your Internet Service Provider’s default DNS, it might be slower or less efficient at finding the best routes to game servers. Switching to a faster, more reliable DNS (like Google DNS, Cloudflare, or OpenDNS) can:
Reduce Connection Delays (Lower Latency):
A faster DNS lookup means your device connects to Infinite Flight’s servers more quickly when you launch the game or join a session.
Improve Server Routing:
Some public DNS providers use global networks that route you through more efficient paths, possibly connecting you to a closer or more stable Infinite Flight multiplayer server.
Increase Reliability:
If your ISP’s DNS occasionally drops or lags, it can cause issues like connection errors, failed logins, or slow data syncs. A better DNS can make these connections more consistent.
Enhance Security and Privacy:
Modern DNS services can block malicious redirects or prevent certain types of data leaks, keeping your network safer while you fly online.
That said, DNS changes won’t fix issues caused by slow overall internet speeds, Wi-Fi instability, or server congestion. But if your DNS was previously slow or unreliable, switching can lead to smoother loading, fewer disconnects, and more stable connections in Infinite Flight.
This equally as helpful as downloading more RAM to your PC.
Unless your ISP is complete junk and should not be allowed to provide internet services to people, it serves no purpose ![]()
Ohhhhhhhhhh, than nevermind for this topic. Lol i was here thinking i uncovered some secret lol
While it doesn’t have much effect on IF it does serve a bigger purpose and that’s privacy and also like @schyllberg said unless your ISP doesn’t give you a reliable Internet generally you don’t have to worry about it. Now from a privacy standpoint the ISP can monitor and track your DNS requests with the exact domain you’re connecting to when using their dns but when you use third party the ISP will be able to see your IP address instead of the domain name you connecting to a website which means less direct but still they can translate the IP address to the domain you’re connecting to. Either way your ISP uses DPI (Deep packet inspection) which gives them the entire metadata to track you and sell them to third parties and ad companies lol. So unless you are gonna use VPN or Proxy there’s not much you can do from your ISP tracking you.
