Hi everyone.

Just need a bit of advice or guidance please.

Does anyone know if I would have any issues or some sort of trouble if I were to change my DNS setting on my router?

A friend told me about this as he is using some sort of paid service that provides him with "a DNS".

If I were to do this what consequences would I face?

I've got cool Ideas FTTH through vumatel.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
 
Use DnsJumper to check fastest DNS servers,
Apply DNS in DnsJumper, flush DNS if you see it, otherwise just reboot your PC.
The only consequence of this change is that you use an alternative DNS server than your ISP.
It's not an issue.
 
First a question, what is wrong with the CISP DNS servers that is making you want to change..? After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it..

To answer your question, provided you use a reputable DNS server, you are not likely to have any issues.. To add to that, there is no need to pay anyone for a basic DNS service for your use case.. Unless you are wanting to bypass geo-restrictions..

DnsJumper contains the most reputable and reliable DNS servers.
Personally speaking in all my internet years, the ISP DNS servers sucked in comparison to public DNS servers.

Thank you for the response @WAslayer.
There's nothing wrong with the CISP DNS servers. It would mostly be for bypassing geo-restrictions.

I just wanted to get some more insight on this as I'm not that clued up and the friend that brought it up also couldn't tell me much about it.

Is up to you what you want to use we dont have any restrictions around these sort of changes, the only caveat is that we wont support 3rd party changes/settings.

What do you mean by support it?
It's a DNS change.
It shouldn't cause any support problems.
Based on the reliability of leading DNS providers, this will actually decrease support problems caused by DNS issues.
Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Probably means, don't log a support ticket with CISP for any DNS related issues, because we can't help you..

"If you use some shitbrick DNS some guy in his basement set up,and it blows up or the Federales come knocking because your house is transmitting secret alien code - it ain't our baby"
 
What is the problem you trying to solve?

Most paid DNS services do categorization to prevent the kids from watching porn as an example. This is why most people or companies use it. Some fancy pants routers have what is known as parental controls that do the same thing.

But by default it is a good idea to use 1.1.1.2 and 9.9.9.9 as a mechanism to inadvertantly be compromised by a bad actor. I used to use OpenDNS until is was gobbled up by Cisco and then I dropped it.
