DNS (Domain Name System) load balancing may seem confusing, but it is a very useful feature that we offer Hide My Ass! Pro VPN. Let us see what is the DNS load balancing and how you can use it.
What is the DNS load balancing?
Imagine you are waiting for a bus and a large crowd of people gathered on the sidewalk, looking forward to the next.
What happens next? Of course, two buses running at the same time, and there is much jostling the passengers boarded the first bus. The bus is crowded, but passengers are still to hurry on. A driver arrives and asks some of them aboard the second bus. Now, passengers are more evenly distributed between the two buses, so no single bus is crowded.
Apply this explanation to our VPN product and DNS load balancing allows you to switch to a less busy server VPN, if the VPN server you connect to is heavily overloaded. This gives you better speed and quality of the connection, the traffic and processing are regularly distributed over a network.
DNS load balancing provides a list of servers, also known as domain names, which you dynamically route to the least loaded server within the selected location. If you want to connect to a VPN server random from this site, this is also possible now
So, just using a domain name instead of an IP address of the server, the quality of your connection and speed improves. plus you do not need to change the IP address of the server in the settings of your connection method.
How the work load balancing DNS?
Before the DNS load balancing feature was available, you had to scroll through over 860 VPN servers we HMA! offer to find the right, then apply the IP servers in their methods of connection parameters. This of course, is not ideal, because it meant that you had to repeat this process if you want to use a different VPN server. Plenty of time to say the least!
But with balancing DNS load have VPN servers are now listed by country (except the US and the UK, where additional hostnames are available.)
All you have to do now is to choose a host name (eg us.hma.rocks) and instead use the IP VPN server. When you establish a VPN connection, your device will ask our system to the least loaded server VPN, and connect to it.
We will explain in more detail the balancing DNS load with this example
- North America - United States of America = us.hma.rocks
- to connect to the least loaded server VPN USA, use: us.hma.rocks
- to connect to a random server random.us.hma.rocks USA =
S ' please note: to use DNS load balancing, just follow the instructions to configure a VPN connection. At the point where you would normally enter the IP VPN server, simply type the new name of Load Balancing host.
How to choose a hostname?
To select a host name for the country you want to connect, connect to your VPN control panel and click Select "View" next to "Manually set-up VPN - no software "" software & Help. ".
Here you see the server list - grouped under three tabs :. server list (hostnames), virtual servers (IPS) and individual servers (IP) as shown in the screenshot below
Depending on what you need (least loaded servers, virtual servers or individual servers), click the tab
Note :. links "View" on the right - means that the country has several places to choose from. Click the tab to reveal all locations.
