How to Change DNS Addresses on MacOSX Devices

DNS (Domain Name System) is a special address to manage and map IPs that contain network hostnames. In general, DNS aims to help retrieve the IP address of each URL requested by the client computer. All browsers such as Safari, Chrome or Firefox that run on client computers by default use DNS server settings from the Internet Service Provider (ISP). Sometimes you need to change the default DNS server to get an unlimited, safe and fast internet experience. Especially for Windows and MacOSX users who are annoyed with the limitation, in fact how to change the DNS of the two operating systems is very easy, friend.
