    Linus, I’ve watched a lot of these explanation videos and I find using a real world example of where one might actually enter or see a DNS (a server, computer, or router), would be more helpful than comparing DNS servers to taxi drivers. Sorry but your metaphors suck.

    What is with the taunting fingers of yours every now and then 😏😏😕



  4. Savvy Siege on December 29, 2020 at 7:54 pm

    hmmmm interesting



  6. Rodolfo Reyes on December 29, 2020 at 7:55 pm

    Ok ok so is your connection better when your DNS is higher or lower?



  7. Matt on December 29, 2020 at 7:58 pm

    This was so much clearer than the other video that came up when I searched for it. They had way too much animation/politics going on for me. Thanks!



  8. RepsUp100 on December 29, 2020 at 8:00 pm

    Use cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS



  9. Moritz on December 29, 2020 at 8:00 pm

    Thank you for explaining this so exact and yet so easy



  10. Anthony on December 29, 2020 at 8:00 pm

    Haha hacker stereotype never changes eh? Dark, shadowy figure behind a laptop. Most hackers are people interested in IT but media and entertainment always paints us the same way 😅. No shade at this video, I actually loved it, I’m just talking about the Hollywood stereotype of hackers 😄

  28. The Basilisk Plays on December 29, 2020 at 8:13 pm

    That was helpful. Now I know what dns is.



  29. Amaroq on December 29, 2020 at 8:13 pm

    I love how DNS/RNS are the german names of DNA/RNA (desoxyribonucleid acid, so the body’s genetics and so on) when they can be used as a metaphor for the internet DNS/RNS. </nerdthoughts>



  30. Alexander Rådström on December 29, 2020 at 8:20 pm

    I Get ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED How to get rid of it?



  31. heyandy x on December 29, 2020 at 8:20 pm

  32. PerfectlyCutMemes on December 29, 2020 at 8:21 pm

    I woke up hearing this and thought this was Alex from fitment industries



  33. martynblackburn1977 on December 29, 2020 at 8:22 pm

    How it works….it works? I’ve never once dealt with DNS and it worked. Never once.



  34. vannak keo on December 29, 2020 at 8:22 pm

    very informative



  35. Felipe Alvarado on December 29, 2020 at 8:25 pm

    nothing like ads in the form of tutorials…



  36. MurderMan11 on December 29, 2020 at 8:26 pm

    He skipped the part where it checks the hosts file before it goes to the DNS…



  37. Lethal Bacon on December 29, 2020 at 8:26 pm

    I love what you guys are doing. These videos help make a bigger picture for me, since I’m in the midst of my Networking education. I’m confident that it helps many others aswell. Thank you!



  38. Really Madnomad on December 29, 2020 at 8:27 pm

    Too fast. Too much buzztalk. I feel dumber now. All I heard was "Turn left at light – Repeat."



  39. Stefan Gschirr on December 29, 2020 at 8:28 pm

    Thank you!



  40. Al Mahdi on December 29, 2020 at 8:28 pm

  41. psychederik on December 29, 2020 at 8:29 pm

    Who knew Linus was such a beautiful woman?



  42. Patrik Nordberg on December 29, 2020 at 8:30 pm

    Nevermind the fact that most servers wouldn’t know what to serve you if you only typed in the IP number in your browser, as most web servers hosts multiple domain names on the same IP number.



  43. Benson on December 29, 2020 at 8:31 pm

    *“GeT wIfI aNyWhErE yOu Go”*



  44. sayurasem on December 29, 2020 at 8:31 pm

    So DNS is like a contact list



  45. Ahmed Elsayed on December 29, 2020 at 8:37 pm

    Google DNS?! Like they don’t have enough information about me already. I have to give them my browsing history as well.



  46. gamingRus on December 29, 2020 at 8:40 pm

    My router randomly kicks me of the WiFi every 10 minutes and then my ps4 sais it’s a dns error I hate this because I can’t game and I want to pull my hair out
