The DNS lookup itself will typically take around 10 milliseconds to a properly configured DNS server on most standard home internet connections. Once an IP address has been resolved, your device will store a cached copy of this address and continue to use it all future communication without needing to perform the DNS lookup again. These IP addresses are what computers and network devices use to communicate with each other while providing an easy to remember name for humans to use.
When you visit a website, watch online videos, or connect to gaming servers your computer will behind the scenes automatically convert domain names like into an IP address like 192.168.2.1. Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.1 What is DNS and how does it affect gaming?ĭNS is short for Domain Name System, and for the most part it actually does not affect your gaming experience at all.
