What is the performance of the Feeltr secure DNS compared to Google DNS? 🌐

When it comes to performance, Feeltr's secure DNS stands head and shoulders above other solutions 🎢 Feeltr's secure DNS has garnered praise for its exceptional performance, as evidenced by its impressive average response time of just 18.95 milliseconds (ms). This means that when you enter a website address into your browser, Feeltr's DNS servers swiftly resolve the corresponding IP address, allowing webpages to load seamlessly. Comparing with Google DNS In contrast, Google DNS, while widely known and used, has an average response time of 34.70 ms. This significant performance gap makes Feeltr's secure DNS solution the go-to choice for users who prioritize speed and efficiency. With Feeltr, you can experience a noticeable improvement in website loading times, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable browsing experience ⌛

Could Feeltr make a mistake and block access to a website ? ⛔

Of course because Feeltr, just like all security systems on the market, can generate what are called "false positives", i.e. label a content source as a potential threat, when it is not. If this happens: don't panic! All you have to do, just as you may do sometimes with an antivirus, is disable Feeltr via a simple click in the application, then re-enable it once you're done visiting that site, unfairly accused of being a risk source. Beware that Feeltr's lists of potential threats are updated daily  A website that is mistakenly seen as a threat today may not be the next day. We have two main categories of lists: whitelists and blacklists 📃✅ At the moment it is not possible for users to create, add and remove items from these lists manually , this functionality is only available for Feeltr PRO .

Adware, ransomware, malware, minerware - What is it exactly?

Terms that are indeed not always clear but very relevant in the field of cybersecurity 🌐 All of these terms refer to families of threats, which in common parlance you would call " computer viruses ". 👉 An ADWARE is a computer program that displays advertisements on the interface of a software program or via the Internet browser in the form of pop-up windows that chronically pop up, which is totally unpleasant and unnecessary. 👉 A RANSOMWARE is a malicious computer software, taking data hostage or rather the owner of this data. To do this, it encrypts and blocks the files on your computer and demands a ransom in exchange for a key to decrypt them. Ransomware is the nightmare of businesses. 👉 A MALWARE is a type of malicious, aggressive virus whose purpose is to damage or disable computers, computer systems, tablets or mobile devices. 👉 A MINERWARE is code that performs advanced calculations without your knowledge, on your devices, in order to generate Bitcoin-like...

Feeltr works on what passes through your Internet connection, while an antivirus works to detect t...

What does Feeltr do ? How does it work ?

Feeltr is a secure DNS (Domain Name System) that blocks cyber threats such as ad abuse, adware, ransomware, malware, minerware, phishing, data theft, and biometric data theft BUT what is a secure DNS and how does it relate to cyber-security?  When we connect to the internet, our devices send requests to DNS servers to convert domain names (like google.com) into IP addresses that machines can understand. However, cybercriminals can use this system to their advantage. For example, they can create fake DNS servers that redirect users to fake websites designed to steal personal information. This is where Feeltr   comes in !  Feeltr has a list of all the malicious servers in the world, which is about 0.35% of the internet. When a user connects to the internet and sends a request to a DNS server, Feeltr checks if the requested server is on the list of malicious servers. If it is, Feeltr refuses to forward the call. This ensures that the user is protected from cyber threats, suc...
