One option to improve your internet without spending anything is to use Google's public DNS. Basically, a DNS (Domain Name System, or Domain Name System in Portuguese), is the one who translates the name of a domain — https://Technology Refugee..com/ — into an IP address.
All connected devices, ie your cell phone, computer and servers, are linked by IP addresses. When opening a browser to access a website, instead of having to type a certain combination of numbers (192.0.2.1, for example), it is enough to inform the domain name and the DNS servers take care of the rest.
The good news is that changing to Google DNS is relatively simple. Just follow the steps below (tests were performed on Windows 10).
