Please note: we highly recommend that you write down any existing DNS server entries for future references.

  1. Open “Setting” on your iOS device
  2. Click on “Wi-Fi” to see the wireless network you are connected to. Click on the “i” icon.
  3. If you use iOS 11, find the “DNS” section and click on “Configure DNS”, then select “Manual”.
  4. Delete the current DNS servers.
  5. Tap “Add Server” and enter SafeServe resolvers: 198.54.117.10
  6. Tap “Save” in the right upper corner and exit the menu.
  7. Now try browsing any website in your mobile browser. If it’s loading, then you are good to go.

Important: the above instructions will work via Wi-Fi connections only. DNS servers cannot be changed when connected to cellular networks on iOS. You will also need to change the DNS servers every time you connect to a new wireless network, as all changes are network specific.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. What is DNS?

    Domain name system (DNS) is like an internet directory that finds the websites you want to visit. It translates domain names like namecheap.com and hostnames like support.namecheap.com (which are words – that humans use) into the corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (which are numbers – that computers use). Because every website is basically a number in ‘computer world’.

  2. What is a public (recursive) DNS?

    A public (recursive) DNS provides the IP address of the domain name you request. It’s the standard DNS system that locates the websites you ask to visit. PublicDNS isn’t tied to a specific ISP.

  3. Why is SafeServe free? What’s the catch?

    There is no catch. Namecheap is fully committed to making sure the Internet is always safe and secure for everyone to use. This service is just part of that commitment. No signup. No cost. Just private browsing with no one eavesdropping or manipulating your data.

  4. Why is SafeServe secure?

    For this service, we have implemented DNS over TLS. This means that no one can see which websites you want to visit. This is because all the DNS connections are covered by Transport Layer Security.

  5. What devices can I use SafeServe with?

    There are no restrictions on which devices you can use it with. You can find a separate configuration manual for each platform on this page.

  6. How do I check that the service is working?

    Once you correctly followed all the steps from the instructions, open any browser on the device you set the DNS on and try connecting to any website. If it loads, then everything works fine.
    We are also working on the personal online-checker so stay tuned!

  7. How do I change my smart device cellular DNS?

    Unfortunately, it’s not currently possible to change the cellular DNS settings on Android and iOS devices.

  8. Do I need to create an account with Namecheap to use the service?

    No. Just go right ahead. It’s all part of our mission to protect consumer rights, and your privacy online.

  9. Can I use SafeServe to host my domain name or website?

    No. this is a recursive (public) DNS and is a resolution server only. If you need a good authoritative nameserver to manage your zone file and DNS records, you can refer to our PremiumDNS service.
