DNS Resolver

The endpoint that processes your Stripchat DNS queries.

Definition​

A DNS resolver is the service (usually run by your ISP or a public provider) that accepts DNS queries from clients, performs recursion, caches answers, and returns results to your device.

Why it matters​

  • Policy enforcement: ISPs implement blocking at the resolver level, so changing resolvers can restore access.
  • Privacy: Resolvers log every domain you visit; choose ones with strict privacy policies and encryption support.
  • Latency: Nearby resolvers deliver answers faster, reducing initial Stripchat page load time.

Tips​

  1. Configure trusted resolvers (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Quad9 9.9.9.9) in network settings.
  2. Verify with nslookup stripchat.com to ensure the expected resolver is in use.
  3. Use DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS capable clients to hide queries from intermediaries.
