How do I change my DNS server?


Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will usually specify which DNS server you use.


However, there are three main ways to change the DNS server used by your device.


Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to use the DNS server for VPN services. The best VPNs never suffer from DNS leaks

Configure the DNS server in the network settings of your operating system.

Alternatively, change the DNS settings on your home or office router. This effectively changes the DNS settings for all devices connected to that router.

DNS lookups are the basis of how the modern Internet works. However, like anything sent to a third party, DNS queries can be recorded and stored by a DNS server. This can leave a trail of your Internet activity that is open to abuse.


If you want to hide your device's DNS activity and avoid it being logged, then using VPN software is by far the best way to go. To find out more, read our guide explaining the differences between DNS, Smart DNS and VPN services.
