Please note: we highly recommend that you write down any existing DNS server entries for future references.
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.
Please also note that there is no built-in DNS over TLS support for this OS. Set up may require additional, more complex configurations using proxy resolvers that support DNS over TLS functionality. We do not describe the whole process here due to its complexity.

You will also need to change the DNS servers every time you connect to a new wireless network, as all changes are network specific. Good news, though… Android remembers your settings so you can reconnect to networks without repeating any changes. Android also supports DNS over TLS functionality, starting Android 9 or later.

We also suggest that you clear the DNS cache on your browsers. This way, all the subsequent lookups will go through the newly configured 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’.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Unfortunately, it’s not currently possible to change the cellular DNS settings on Android and iOS devices.
No. Just go right ahead. It’s all part of our mission to protect consumer rights, and your privacy online.
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.
