Full description
Change DNS without root. Choose what works for you. DNS Changer by Protectstar puts your Android DNS settings within easy reach. Choose a DNS server for Wi-Fi or mobile data, try an alternative when websites are slow to open, and use providers with ad blocking, security or family filters. No root access, router changes or complicated setup. Your DNS server, your choice DNS helps your phone find the addresses of websites and online services. A responsive DNS server can reduce lookup delays and help pages start loading sooner when your current resolver is slow. Choose from providers such as Cloudflare, Google Public DNS, AdGuard DNS, Quad9 and CleanBrowsing, or enter custom IPv4 and IPv6 DNS addresses. Connect or disconnect with one tap and check the connection status in the app. Use DNS Changer on your Android phone or tablet, at home, at work or on mobile data, including 4G and 5G. You control which provider handles the DNS requests routed through the app. Ad blocking, security and family filters Want fewer distractions while browsing? Select a DNS provider that blocks advertising and tracking domains. A security-focused DNS service can also help block known phishing and malicious domains before a connection is made. Family DNS filters can help restrict adult content and other unsuitable categories. Filtering is provided by the DNS service you select, and not every provider offers every filter. DNS ad blocking cannot remove every ad. Family filtering is an additional layer, not a replacement for parental controls. Get more control with DNS Changer PRO Go beyond selecting a server with tools for comparing DNS responses and managing your setup: • DNS speed test: compare response times on your current network instead of guessing which server will suit it. • Saved profiles: keep different DNS setups for Home, Work, Gaming or Travel and switch when your needs change. • Per-app control: choose which apps use DNS Changer. • Optional DNS logs and monitoring, plus WHOIS with a map view: inspect domain requests and look up additional domain information. These advanced features require PRO. Use them to compare providers, organize your settings and understand the DNS activity shown in the app. A DNS speed test measures DNS response time, not your internet download speed. A practical DNS choice for browsing and gaming The right DNS can help with name resolution for websites, app services and game logins. With PRO, compare DNS servers on both Wi-Fi and mobile data, then save the setup you prefer. There is no single fastest DNS for every network: location, provider and network conditions affect results. Changing DNS does not increase your internet plan's bandwidth or guarantee lower in-game ping. Start in a few simple steps Open DNS Changer, choose a provider and confirm Android's VPN connection request. Connect, then try the websites and apps you normally use. If a filter blocks a service you need, try a different DNS provider or disconnect to return to your usual DNS configuration. Local VPN interface, not a remote VPN service DNS Changer uses Android VpnService to create a local VPN interface for DNS management. It does not route your traffic through remote VPN servers or change your public IP address. Another VPN app generally cannot run at the same time. The DNS provider you choose applies its own filtering and privacy policies. Choose your server. Compare your options. Make DNS Changer part of your everyday Android setup.
