We all know, how important the Internet is for most of us. It opens doors for information sharing for all. But like all good things, it also comes with its own troubles and hazards.
Identity theft is a big problem which include stealing of passwords and financial data from your PC. For example, when you type gmail.com and press enter, the DNS server checks what is the server address for this website, then communicates with that server address which is typically an IP address.
In case of a DNS hijack or DNS-poisoning, when you type the name of a website a bad DNS server will return a malicious address which will look just like original website and you may enter your login information on that page.
If that is a fake website then it may steal your login data and personal information. We know that Prevention is better than cure, so its better to be safe from the DNS attacks and poisoning rather than repairing it later.
In this article, we'll know about an effective tool called the DNSCrypt which encrypts the DNS requests on the network which makes the DNS sniffing almost impossible. This will protect your Internet connectivity to be sniffed at DNS level and will make your computer more secure from DNS related attacks.
Using DNSCrypt is simple and this software is available for Windows and Mac OS. You can simply download and Install it on your Windows or MAC computer and it will start to encrypt the DNS traffic effectively.
This is a free to use Beta version software which means that it may have some bugs or unknown problems. I've tested it on my PC and it seems to work fine without any problems. Just give it a try and you will be happy to find your PC secure from network attacks.
