Change dns on android

The Android operating system usually uses our operator's DNS by default and does not use Google's, which makes a lot of sense, since using DNS from Google or others is much more convenient since we maximize speed, security and we also avoid being blocked or censored. Don't miss our tutorial on how to change DNS on Android !

Change DNS on Android

Below you can see several ways to change DNS on Android without being a root user.

This option allows us to perform it from the same Android system.

The most modern versions of this operating system have options in the system that allow us to be able to modify the DNS to the Wifi connections:

We start by opening the list of Wifi networks:

Then we will leave pressed on the Wifi network to which we are connected. We will see an option that will say Modify Network, click on it.

Then we click on Advanced Options.

After that we change the configuration from IP to static IP and in the fields where DNS1 and DNS2 appear, we select the DNS that we want. Remember that there are a wide variety of free public DNS servers that we detailed a few days ago.

Finally click on save or accept.

Use Google DNS in Wifi and 3G

Another very viable option is to use the DNSet application that will allow us to use Google's DNS at any time, regardless of whether we are connected by WiFi or 3G. Also if we acquire the Pro version of this application we can configure it with any DNS.

Since its configuration is very simple, after downloading and installing the application, it will ask us about the permissions to control traffic, click OK. It can also be configured to start automatically.

WiFi DNS from an app

If you are a person who prefers to use an application, instead of following all the steps that we have explained above, you can use Wifi Settings, a very simple app that will allow you to do the same but in fewer steps.
