  • +Related to: dnsmasq, bind

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Public DNS

Developers should learn and use Public DNS to enhance network performance, security, and privacy in applications and systems

Pros

  • +It is particularly useful for bypassing ISP throttling, reducing latency in global deployments, and implementing DNS-based content filtering or security measures
  • +Related to: dns-resolution, network-configuration

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Local DNS if: You want it is essential for scenarios like local web development with custom domains (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Public DNS if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for bypassing isp throttling, reducing latency in global deployments, and implementing dns-based content filtering or security measures over what Local DNS offers.
