About this app

Choose your DNS. Keep your settings within reach.

DNS Changer by Protectstar lets you change the DNS server on your Android phone or tablet without root. Pick a provider for your home Wi-Fi or mobile data, enter your own DNS addresses and connect with a tap. If your usual resolver is slow to answer, trying another provider may help websites begin loading sooner.

More control with DNS Changer PRO

Make an informed choice and keep a setup that suits your routine:
• DNS speed test: compare server response times on the network you are using.
• Saved profiles: keep separate settings for home, work, travel or gaming.
• Per-app control: choose which apps use DNS Changer and which are excluded.
• Optional DNS logs and monitoring: inspect the domain requests shown in the app.
• WHOIS with a map view: look up further information about a domain or IP address.

These tools require PRO. A DNS response test helps you compare resolvers; it does not measure your broadband or mobile download speed. Profiles let you return to your preferred settings without entering the same addresses each time.

A DNS server for your needs

Choose from providers such as Cloudflare, Google Public DNS, AdGuard DNS, Quad9 and CleanBrowsing, or add custom IPv4 and IPv6 DNS addresses. Provider names identify available DNS services; DNS Changer is developed by Protectstar.

Use Wi-Fi at home, an office connection or mobile data, including 4G and 5G. A provider that responds well on one connection may perform differently on another. With PRO, compare your options on the actual network before saving the settings you prefer.

Ad filters, security and family options

Some DNS providers filter advertising and tracking domains. Others offer filters for known phishing and malicious domains or for adult content. Choose a provider whose filtering options match your needs.

Filtering comes from the selected DNS service, and its coverage varies. DNS filtering cannot remove every advert or replace antivirus protection. A family filter can support your household rules, but it is not a complete parental-control system. Review your chosen provider's filtering and privacy policies.

Practical settings for everyday use

Keep a familiar DNS profile for home and another for work or travel. If you want an app to use your usual network settings, PRO per-app controls let you exclude it from DNS Changer. Optional logs and WHOIS are there when you want to examine the DNS activity displayed by the app in more detail.

What a DNS change can do

DNS translates domain names into network addresses. A more responsive resolver can shorten this lookup when your current service is slow or unreliable. It does not increase your internet package's bandwidth. DNS can affect access to game sign-in and other online services, but a change does not guarantee lower in-game ping or eliminate lag.

Simple to start, easy to change

Open DNS Changer, select a provider and approve Android's VPN connection request. Connect and try your usual websites and apps. If a provider or filter causes problems, choose another service or disconnect to return to your normal DNS setup. You do not need to change your router settings.

About the VPN connection request

DNS Changer uses Android VpnService to manage DNS through a local VPN interface. It does not send your internet traffic through a remote VPN server or change your public IP address. Another VPN app generally cannot run at the same time.

Choose your provider, compare the response and keep DNS settings organised with DNS Changer.
Change DNS without root. Compare servers and manage apps and profiles with PRO.

If you're looking for something to block ads for the youtube app then this won't work, but it will work for everything else. If you use apps that use ads for rewards like webtoon then I'd suggest getting premium and turning off the changer for that specific app. If you turn on/off this while in the app you want to block/unblock ads on but it doesn't work then just close and reopen that app, it'll work then. To note: I use server AdGuard DNS.

App keeps closing by itself.. I have paid for a month and it keeps on closing itself even after I updated it. I have sent an email to support and have got no reply. The other problem is "when it used to work" is that it keeps getting disabled after I clear my screen. And at the moment it keeps crashing and closing everytime I open it. Don't you test your apps? What do I do now? I have already emailed you.

Out of all the DNS Changers on here. This one is only one that I've tried that solved my lag issue. I don't know how but this one solved my lagg issue latency issue. I switched too Google Dns. My lagging is gone. More responsive. Quick. Great job developer. You're the best.😊👍👍 Just created a backup file to this version. That's how good it is.
