Good to know: A / AAAA records map names to IP addresses. Reverse lookups use PTR records, which may not exist for every IP. A lookup here does not modify your device's DNS settings.

02 YOUR CONNECTION, YOUR CHOICE

Make the switch.
Keep it simple.

Choose a trusted public DNS resolver, copy its addresses, and follow our device-specific setup guide. You stay in control.

◎ STEP-BY-STEP CONFIGURATION

A smoother setup
starts here.

Choose your operating system. Follow the steps to set your device's DNS resolver manually.

ⓘSave your existing DNS addresses before changing them. Switching resolvers can improve DNS lookup time, but won't increase your ISP's bandwidth.

LOCAL DEVICE DNS

Change device DNS.
On your terms.

Download an inspectable local script. It asks you to choose an adapter, backs up the current DNS configuration and changes it only after your explicit confirmation and operating-system permission.

Windows 10 / 11 ↓ macOS ↓
How to run & restore ↗

Windows: Review the downloaded .ps1 file in a text editor, open PowerShell as Administrator and run the script with -Action Apply -Provider Cloudflare. It lists adapters for you to choose. To undo, run the same script with -Action Restore and select the same adapter.

macOS: Review the .sh file, then run bash dns-switch-macos.sh apply cloudflare from the download folder. To undo, run bash dns-switch-macos.sh restore. Both flows request confirmation and may require an administrator password.

Other providers: Google or Quad9 on Windows; google or quad9 on macOS. Existing DNS settings are saved locally. This does not affect every device on your router or increase ISP bandwidth.

Questions?
Resolved.

DNS can feel complicated. The essentials don't have to be.

Does switching DNS make my internet faster?+

A different resolver can reduce DNS lookup delay in some situations. It does not directly increase your internet plan's download or upload bandwidth.

Can this website change my device DNS automatically?+

A browser can't silently change operating-system DNS settings. You can download and inspect the local switcher, choose your adapter and approve the change. It also saves a backup for restoration.

Can I edit records for any domain?+

No. You can only manage zones that your restricted Cloudflare API token is authorized to edit. Editing other users' domains is not supported.

What is reverse DNS?+

A PTR lookup checks whether an IP address has an associated hostname. Many IP addresses do not have public PTR records, and the result may differ from a forward lookup.
