For those not familiar with the concept, DNS (Domain Name System) is essentially the phonebook of the internet. Whenever you enter a website address into your browser, your device needs to translate that address into an IP address to access the website. This is where DNS comes in \u2013 it acts as a translator, providing your device with the IP address it needs to connect to the website.<\/p>\n<p>However, sometimes issues can arise with DNS servers, such as slow loading times or even complete failure to connect to certain websites. In these cases, it can be helpful to know how to find your DNS server and potentially switch to a different one to improve your internet experience. In this guide, we will explore several methods for finding DNS server on Mac Terminal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_Tutorial\"><\/span>Video Tutorial:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"ghWBAGZxd2s\" playlabel=\"Play: Keynote (Google I\/O '18)\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_Needed\"><\/span>What\u2019s Needed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we dive in, you\u2019ll need two things:<br \/>\n\u2013 A Mac device<br \/>\n\u2013 Access to Terminal (located in the Utilities folder in Applications)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Requires_Your_Focus\"><\/span>What Requires Your Focus?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to successfully find your DNS server on Mac Terminal, it\u2019s important to have a good understanding of the command line and how to navigate to the correct settings.
