🔒 Google will require all developers to verify their identity if they want their apps to stay on Android
This rule applies to all apps, regardless of where they were installed from. Google says it’s all about protecting users from malware — but for many devs, especially those who distribute their apps outside Google Play, this could be a real headache.

🔑 How to set up DNS?
You can change your DNS server in your device settings to speed up your Internet connection and boost security

🔍 AdGuard DNS:
📡 IPs: 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15
✅ Pros: Blocks ads, trackers, pop-ups, and malicious websites. Prioritizes privacy — no traffic logs. Fast, low-latency servers. Built-in phishing protection
⚠️ Cons: Have fewer global servers compared to Google or Cloudflare
🤔 How does DNS affect Internet speed?
If your DNS server is overloaded or too far away, websites might load slowly. Switching to a faster DNS (like AdGuard DNS) can speed up browsing
🔍 Cloudflare DNS:
📡 IPs: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
✅ Pros: Focuses on privacy, promises not to log or sell your DNS queries
⚠️ Cons: Might not always be as fast or consistent as Google, but still a solid option for most users
📡 IPs: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
✅ Pros: Focuses on privacy, promises not to log or sell your DNS queries
⚠️ Cons: Might not always be as fast or consistent as Google, but still a solid option for most users
🔍 Google DNS:
📡 IPs: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
✅ Pros: Fast, reliable, widely supported. Great if you just want a stable connection
⚠️ Cons: Google may collect data about your traffic, which can be a privacy concern for some

🌐 What are Google and Cloudflare DNS servers — and how are they different from AdGuard DNS?
Google DNS and Cloudflare DNS are public DNS servers you can use instead of the default ones provided by your ISP. Both are known for better speed and security.
AdGuard DNS is also a public DNS server — but with an extra focus on ad blocking and privacy protection.
🎯 Why should I care?
Security: You can configure DNS to block ads and malicious websites
Speed: Choosing the right DNS server will speed up website loading times, since the server will be “closer” to you
🔐 That’s how DNS works. Let’s move on and see why choosing the right server is so important!
