    Oh no, not DNS, however will I get to my desired sites?? DNS isn’t the only way. It’s just the most obvious or easiest, but we’ll let them keep thinking that 😆

        DNS is like a post office or delivery company. They all have databases of who lives where so they can match a home address to a name.

        DNS isn’t required per se, you can “deliver” traffic directly or through another delivery service… If “https://website.com/” has a domain address of 111.222.33.44, you could also just type that into your browser URL bar like https://111.222.33.44/ and DNS isn’t (or at least shouldn’t be) touched.

          I know. You can add host and ip to os host file and bypass dns.

          But instead of go to person actually responsible for dns entry, domain registrar, they go to dns resolver? And also not go to server host or reverse proxy (cloudflare) which actual cause distribute?
