This is what I do. Caching DNS resolver needs no configuration whatsoever. It is literally "apt-get install pdns-recursor" and edit /etc/resolv.conf to point to 127.0.0.1.



And on Windows? Or a Ubuntu user who only knows how to use the GUI? Or OS X?


I don't know about windows but it's pretty easy to install a single program and either edit a text file or go into network settings with a gui.


What I wrote is actually possible to do on Ubuntu without ever opening a terminal.


Not to mention that the NetworkManager version shipping with 12.04 does this by default.
