The best DNS for Singapore expats who watch international streaming services.

Do not use a "generic" DNS that doesn't have a Singapore server. Avoid 4.2.2.1 (Level3) and 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS standard, which sometimes routes to Japan).

Most internet users in Singapore stick with their Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) default DNS settings. While Singapore boasts one of the fastest internet infrastructures in the world, ISP DNS servers are often overcrowded, less secure, and sometimes slower to resolve web addresses. By switching to a third-party DNS, users can shave milliseconds off their latency (crucial for gaming), improve privacy, and bypass certain geo-restrictions.
