    I want to get Google DNS settings entered to my network.
    But, when I enter the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and see the network also the ISPs DNS also comes alongs with it.. Why is that...?
    Does Google also requires Local ISP DNS as well along with it or how..?

    here is the image below:

    Can you tell me how to eneter the Google DNS without getting the LOcal ISP DNS along with it..?

    Regards

    Where are you entering the DNS server settings? The answer should be that you can utilize Google's servers without needing local.

    I am entering it in the network adapters in control panel in win7..
    And, I did not add Local to it..
    and i see that now, when I enter Opera or Chrome, their is no local in it.. but, In Firefox it shows the local dns along.. How come it shows when i have not entered it in the network settings..

    If you have access to your router, you can enter DNS servers there.

    In Linux you can easily set the DNS in /etc/resolv.conf. In Windows you would need to edit the networking interface to manually define the DNS server. At this level, it should not include the DNS of your ISP.

    Details about preventing DNS leak can be found in the following article:

    Just open command prompt in Win 7 and type "ipconfig /all" or "nslookup" and it will show DNS you are using.

    If you want to protect your privacy it may be an option to add dedicated privacy hardware, for example a firewall or Linux device that tunnels DNS over encrypted SSH and TOR, or using a ready-made product such as InvizBox.

    https://www.invizbox.com/

    A custom Linux device may provide the best result. You could easily use a software firewall to simply block any outgoing DNS other than a certain IP, or by allowing only DNS over TOR (encrypted). It would provide high reliability at low cost (a used Raspberry PI may cost $10, a new one costs $40).
