How many people have local DNS at home? Not many, I'd wager. How many know how to access their router? Also not many.

Besides, "In your router’s configuration page, locate the DNS server settings."



I've been running my own DNS servers since 1996, when I had my first dedicated connection (an ISDN line.) I never use my ISP's DNS.


You're not typical of the average consumer, though. Don't forget that HN is a particularly technical crowd, so you can't use it to judge how technically competent Internet users are.


Here in Hacker News: Many.


Exactly. HN is a bubble, and I think people forget they don't represent the average consumer.
