There will be some type of connection that is used by computers / laptops such as the Local Area Connection (connection use a the RJ45 port), Wireless Network Connections (WiFi), Dial-Up Connections and Mobile Broadband Connection if we use a modem. 4. In the this example, I use a modem to connect through Mobile Broadband Connection. In the particular modems, this option does not appear and usually use a Dial-Up Connection although actually have broadband access. Add Tip

Click the Add button, enter the DNS server address in the TCP / IP DNS Server box and click Add to enter the DNS address to the list. Click OK in each window sequentially to close and apply the settings we just created. 4. You're done ! You can also change the DNS settings automatically and easily by using DnsJumper (http://donetutor.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-to-change-dns-settings-using-dnsjumper.html). Common DNS Server Lists.

Havent checked yet, but looks like a nice DNS server list! A couple might be more appropriate for when kids are on the computer? Those I didnt know about. Next instructable might be setting up VPN for Dummies kind of thing, maybe thru Torguard or BTGuard. Just a thought. :) Setting up a firewall like PFSense couldbe cool for a select crowd too. (Kind of thought of doing a basic guide on that myself, but my workspace is shamefully overcrowded with junk). Anyway, good guide here!

Perhaps to get American Netflix if you live in Canada or vice versa.
