About this app

Change DNS without root for faster browsing, lower ping in mobile games and safer internet.
DNS Changer by Protectstar™ is a simple Android app that lets you switch DNS servers on your phone or tablet in a few taps. Use fast, privacy‑friendly DNS for Wi‑Fi and mobile data, speed up website loading on slow connections, help reduce ping and lag in many multiplayer games and use DNS services that can filter many advertising, tracking and malicious domains – all without root access.

Why should you change DNS?
• Default DNS from your ISP or mobile operator can be slow or crowded, so websites and apps open more slowly.
• Some sites and online services are blocked or filtered at DNS level and will not open with standard provider settings.
• Switching to a faster DNS server reduces DNS lookup time and makes everyday browsing, social apps and streaming feel more responsive.
• Security‑focused DNS providers can block known phishing, malware and other unsafe domains before they load in your browser or apps.
• A better DNS route can help lower latency and ping in many online and mobile games, which is important for competitive matches.

Made for Indian users
• Works with common setups in India: home broadband routers, hostel Wi‑Fi and 4G/5G mobile data.
• No root required and no complicated manual DNS settings; everything is managed inside one app.

Main features
• Change DNS for Wi‑Fi and mobile data (3G/4G/5G) without root.
• Support for both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS servers.
• Ready‑made profiles: Security DNS, Privacy DNS, DNS that can filter many ad and tracking domains, Gaming DNS and Family‑filter DNS.
• Choose from popular public DNS providers like Cloudflare, Google Public DNS, AdGuard DNS, Quad9 and CleanBrowsing, or add your own custom IPv4/IPv6 DNS servers.
• Built‑in DNS speed test (PRO) to automatically find a fast DNS server for your network and location.
• DNS request logs and monitoring (PRO) so you can see which domains your apps connect to and detect unusual activity.
• Save DNS profiles such as “Home”, “Office”, “Gaming” or “Kids” and switch between them in seconds (PRO).
• One‑tap connect or disconnect from inside the app or from the notification shade.

Privacy and security
• Use privacy‑friendly DNS providers to reduce tracking and some forms of traffic analysis by third parties.
• DNS‑level filtering can block access to many malicious or suspicious domains before they reach your browser or apps – especially useful on public Wi‑Fi networks in cafés, colleges and airports.
• Filtering many advertising and tracking domains at DNS level can give you a cleaner and sometimes faster browsing experience.

Family‑safe DNS and parental control
• Family‑safe DNS profiles can automatically block adult websites, gambling pages and other categories that are not suitable for children.
• Filtering happens at DNS level, so protection covers the whole device – every app and browser – with a single central setting.

PRO features and technical note
• Per‑app control: select which apps should use DNS Changer and which should keep the system default DNS (PRO).
• Advanced DNS logs and a WHOIS tool with map view help you analyse traffic and detect suspicious domains (PRO).
• Create custom DNS profiles for gaming, work, streaming or family and switch quickly between them as needed (PRO).
• DNS Changer uses Android’s VpnService API to create a local VPN interface and changes only the DNS server address used by your device. It is not a full VPN: your traffic is not tunnelled through remote VPN servers and your public IP address does not change. The app does not store your browsing history, and PRO features are offered as an optional in‑app subscription so you can have more control over DNS settings while keeping your connection fast and stable.

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.

I used this app for 5 months and I have no issues about it. it can really block any ad on your phone depending on the server you chose.and whats the point of buying premium🤨. bc it already blocks all ads on all your apps. Overall is a great app 👍🔥.
