Resolving Navigation Errors with Google DNS Service
The Google DNS (Domain Name System) Service will give you the IP address of the website you want to visit in case your ISP (Internet Service Provider) fails to do so properly (in some cases the ISP may have faulty DNSs).
The Google DNS server addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) have been hardcoded into Chromium, on which Vivaldi is built. The setting is enabled by default, but can be disabled in Settings > Privacy and Security.
To set a custom DNS server in Vivaldi, you can do the following:
Open the Vivaldi menu
Select Settings
Select Privacy and Security
Select Use secure DNS
Select Custom
Enter the URL of your preferred DNS provider
You can also choose from other DNS providers, such as Google, CleanBrowsing, OpenDNS, Cloudflare, or NextDNS.
