Windows DNS Change IPv4 vs IPv6

1

1

I want to change my DNS settings in Windows and I want to use the Google DNS Servers.

In all tutorials (Microsoft or Google) I read change IPv4 OR IPv6..

What does it mean? If I change only IPv6 then I'm automatically on Google DNS or do I have to change both or only IPv4?

Are you using IPv6 at all? You want to change the DNS settings for the protocol suite you're using. – MaQleod – 2014-11-05T22:34:12.400

How could I check, which protocol my machine is using? – Sankp – 2014-11-06T07:45:26.153

You can change both, for IPv4 and for IPv6. Using IPv6-DNS-Resolvers is only useful when your connection is IPv6/Dualstack. Otherwise you risk slow DNS-answers. On IPv6-only connections IPv4-Resolvers are useless.
