Change your DNS without root for faster, safer and more private internet.
DNS Changer by Protectstar™ lets you switch DNS servers on your Android phone or tablet in just a few taps. Use fast, privacy‑friendly DNS on Wi‑Fi and mobile data, improve loading times, help reduce ping and lag in many online games and use DNS services that can filter many advertising, tracking and malicious domains – all without root access or complex network setup.
Why change your DNS server?
• Your ISP’s default DNS can be slow or overloaded, so websites and apps take longer to open than necessary.
• Some websites and online services are blocked or filtered at DNS level and cannot be reached with standard provider settings.
• A faster DNS server reduces DNS lookup time and makes everyday browsing and streaming feel more responsive.
• Security‑focused DNS providers can block known phishing, malware and other unsafe domains before the page loads.
Who is DNS Changer for?
• Users who want faster and more stable browsing on Wi‑Fi and mobile data.
• Mobile gamers who want lower ping and fewer lag spikes in online games.
• People who care about privacy and want to reduce tracking and DNS hijacking risks.
• Families and parents who want an easy way to filter adult content and other unsuitable sites on the entire device.
Key features
• Change DNS for Wi‑Fi and mobile data (3G/4G/5G) without root.
• Supports 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 such as 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 logging and monitoring (PRO) so you can see which domains your apps connect to and detect unusual activity.
• Save DNS profiles and switch between them in seconds – for example “Home”, “Work”, “Gaming” or “Kids” (PRO).
• Simple one‑tap connect or disconnect in the app or from the notification shade.
Privacy and security
• Use privacy‑friendly DNS providers to reduce tracking and some types 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, which is especially helpful on public Wi‑Fi networks.
• Filtering many ad and tracking domains on DNS level can give you a cleaner and often faster browsing experience.
Family filter and parental control
• Family‑safe DNS profiles can automatically block adult websites, gambling pages and other categories that are not suitable for children.
• Because filtering happens at DNS level, protection applies to the whole device – all apps and browsers – with one central setting.
PRO features and technical note
• Per‑app control: choose 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 work, gaming, 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 change 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 to give you more control over DNS settings while keeping your connection fast and stable.
