Search how not hard. DNS to pick a provider you trust.

Care to share where to read up on DNS and what it does, not that tech savy when it comes to networks.

Dns is what translates urls (google.com, lemmy.world, etc) into ip addresses (207.94.56.21) which your computer can actually understand. Dns can be used to track you but a good dns can also very slightly speed up your Internet because it gets you the address to websites a bit faster. I use adguard and have Cloudflare DNS upstream from that
