    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.
