DNS & PUBG 10 Minutes Bans Explained
Before jumping straight into what is the relation between PUBG 10 Mins Bans and DNS firstly we will understand what is actually DNS and how it works.
All the devices connected to a network are identified with the IP Addresses except in case of Small networks like LAN where the primary identification and initiation of communication starts with MAC Address
Whenever you type in www.google.com in your browser firstly your system Looks for the IP addresses to the host in /etc/hosts and if there are no entries in your host file then the request goes to the DNS servers and DNS servers are those service which resolves domains to IP addresses.
Imagine a case if you use a DNS server which is in USA and you're in india , when you'll type www.anysiteinjapan.com your request will first goto USA , to the DNS server, then DNS server will reply to you with the actual IP address of www.anysiteinjapan.com then your device will make connection to the actual website.
India to Usa (Asking where is www.anysiteinjapan.com)
USA to India ( www.anysiteinjapan.com is at 84.68.38.87)
India to Japan (i want to access www.anysiteinjapan.com)
Japan to India (Here is the page you requested)
Here are the points to be noted, the data travels by some physical medium and it takes time yo travel long distances for you it may be a few miliseconds but for the softwares every milisecond is precious. If you use a DNS server which is far from you, the name resolution will take some time , and if you use a DNS server which is used by many people and is overloaded, it will take more time.
So what should be the better practice?
1. Use high performance DNS Servers for name resolution.
2. Use those DNS Servers which are deployed close to your country(your base location).
This will help in reducing the domain name resolution time for you.
what magic will it bring to PUBG ?
* Less time = Quick Connection = Improvements in ingame PING
Why people say use DNS to avoid (not bypass) 10 mins bans?
* Most of the 10 mins bans start with a notice which says "Connection Error", so people think boosting the performance of packets exchange will let them avoid the "Connection Error".
This is why some people suggest using DNS to avoid (not bypass) 10 Minutes Bans.
