1.1.1.1

Probably the internet's fastest DNS Resolver comes from Cloudflare: https://1.1.1.1

It does provide faster browsing speeds but not necessarily faster uploading/downloading. I'm using it and it does work better! Furthermore, they do claim to not keep your information.

There are others available. See this page for some other choices available:

EDIT: Just found another editor bug.

You can't use all numbers in an URL like this cause it will not create a clickable link: https://1.1.1.1

You have to use the URL BBC tag or it will not work!

Steve exactly what does these program do. Like what actually happens to my computer after I install this..

Makes me nervous thinking I'm going to get stuck in some mode.. Is this similar to a VPN

It's a faster DNS resolver for the internet. All sites, etc. use numbers like 123.142.22.66. They are then parsed into human-readable form such as docskillz.com. This happens every time you access a website. These make the jump a lot faster so you get a faster browsing experience. That's all...no modes or anything. This is something that has already been in use since websites started. See this for more info:

Basically, what you are doing is changing which dns resolver you are currently using. I suggest that you jot down the default settings as you change them in case you wish to go back. But if you have a sort of slow connection it will speed things up pretty fast. Those who use a T1 or T2 connection, etc. and already have blazing speeds probably would not notice much of a difference or any at all.

Thanks for explaining this. I have a fast Internet service now. I may try this maybe it's even faster.

Unfortunately, mine is still at DSL speeds as a lot of US cities are. The problem is that the big companies have old lines and wiring and expect the cities to pay for the upkeep and upgrading of the lines although it is their lines.

Our city and many others are considering creating their own high speed networks and lines to close out the big guys.

I have cable here in Canada and it's fairly fast, in the USA I high U-Verse, which is AT&T, its fast. But both have there slow downs, like today I just can't not reach http://www.3dogsarcade.com been trying for about 6 hours off and on, get timed out or can't locate..

My Arcade forum has a member using a auto clicker and I want to know what to do about it..This is IPBProArcade. This is my Arcade forum https://ronaldsarcade.com/

I use to have dail up when I fisrt started then went to DSL and I thought I was in heaven, I like it..

I couldn't get http://www.3dogsarcade.com to come up for me yesterday so I believe it's something on their end...the server or ISP.

Never heard of an autoclicker until now. You mean like this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/orphamielautoclicker/

Not sure if there is way except to either block the person from the arcade with permissions or ban them if they won't stop.

Yea thats the auto clicker, it's cheating, because the mouse continues to click the slots..

I have to watch for sky high scores to see who is cheating.. So far a lot of arcade owners have not heard of auto clicker

Skhilled · July 02, 2018, 09:21:57 AM

In some of the older versions some years ago there was a way to cheat and someone came up with coding to prevent it. I'm not sure if there is coding that would work with this or not.
