Yandex operates more than 80 DNS servers strategically positioned across various cities and countries. Queries from users are directed to the nearest server, resulting in quicker loading times for websites when using Yandex DNS in its "basic" mode. While many websites are safe, some harbor malware that can compromise your computer with viruses, and threats can even exist on sites that have been previously checked for safety. Additionally, certain pages are designed by cybercriminals to harvest passwords and personal information or to siphon funds from mobile accounts. When users try to access a website in "safe" or "family" modes, Yandex DNS effectively blocks any data from being downloaded and alerts the user of potential risks. To enhance security, Yandex employs its proprietary anti-virus software, which scans websites for malware, leveraging both its algorithms and signature technology from Sophos. Each time a user navigates to a webpage, the browser queries the DNS system for the appropriate address, and the efficiency of the nearest DNS server directly influences how quickly the site loads. Therefore, utilizing Yandex DNS not only provides faster access but also an additional layer of protection against online threats.
