Why Is DNS Important for IPTV?

DNS (Domain Name System) servers play a critical role in optimizing internet streaming for IPTV. By directing internet traffic efficiently, DNS servers can enhance your overall streaming experience. Changing your DNS can solve connectivity issues and improve speed.

DNS Addresses You Can Use:

  • Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
