About this app

Change DNS without root for faster, safer internet and better ping in games.
DNS Changer by Protectstar™ is a lightweight DNS switcher for Android that lets you change DNS servers in seconds. Use a fast DNS server on Wi-Fi and mobile data (3G/4G/5G) to improve loading and app responsiveness, help reduce ping/latency spikes in many online games, and choose DNS services that can filter many advertising, tracking and malicious domains at DNS level - no root needed.
Works on most Android phones and tablets and doesn't require router changes.

Why change your DNS server?
• Your ISP default DNS can be slow, unreliable or overloaded, which makes websites and apps feel sluggish.
• A faster DNS reduces DNS lookup time so browsing, search, streaming and social apps feel more responsive.
• Security-focused DNS providers can help block known phishing and malware domains before a page loads.
• Family-safe DNS profiles can help limit adult content and other unsuitable categories on a device.

Key features
• Change DNS without root on Android for both Wi-Fi and mobile data.
• Supports IPv4 and IPv6 DNS servers.
• Ready-made profiles: Fast DNS, Privacy DNS (Private DNS), Security DNS, Gaming DNS and Family filter DNS.
• Choose popular public DNS providers such as Cloudflare, Google Public DNS, AdGuard DNS, Quad9 and CleanBrowsing - or add custom IPv4/IPv6 DNS servers.
• One-tap connect/disconnect.
• Built-in DNS speed test to find a responsive DNS for your current network (PRO).
• Save and switch profiles like Home, Work, Gaming, Kids and Travel (PRO).
• Optional DNS request logs and monitoring (PRO).
• Per-app control: choose which apps use DNS Changer (PRO).

Common use cases
• Faster browsing and streaming on busy networks.
• More stable gaming sessions by reducing DNS delays.
• Safer browsing on public Wi-Fi (cafes, hotels, airports) with a security profile.
• Family-friendly device setup with a Family filter DNS profile.
• Travel mode: switch profiles when you change networks.

Privacy and security
Use privacy-friendly DNS providers to reduce tracking and some forms of third-party traffic analysis. DNS-level filtering can block access to many suspicious domains, which is especially useful on public Wi-Fi networks. Switch between privacy and security profiles in one tap.

Gaming DNS: lower ping and less lag
DNS can influence how quickly your device reaches game services and matchmaking. Use Gaming DNS profiles to help stabilize latency on many connections and select a low-response DNS with the speed test (PRO). Results vary by network, so testing a few profiles is recommended.

Family filter and parental support
Family-safe DNS profiles apply across browsers and apps, so you don't need to configure each app separately. DNS filtering is an additional layer and works well together with Android parental controls.

Quick tips
• Run the DNS speed test at different times of day; results can change with network load.
• If a website or app doesn't load with one DNS, switch to another profile or return to system DNS.
• Keep separate profiles for home Wi-Fi and mobile data - the fastest DNS can differ per network.

Technical note
DNS Changer uses Android's VpnService API to create a local VPN interface and change only the DNS server used by your device. It is not a full VPN service: your traffic is not tunnelled through remote VPN servers and your public IP address does not change. You generally cannot run another VPN app at the same time.

PRO features
PRO adds advanced controls like app-based rules, DNS speed testing, saved profiles, DNS logs and a WHOIS tool with map view. Logging features are optional and designed for in-app analysis. Speed, stability and filtering depend on your network and the DNS provider you select.
No browsing history required.

If you're looking for something to block ads for the youtube app then this won't work, but it will work for everything else. If you use apps that use ads for rewards like webtoon then I'd suggest getting premium and turning off the changer for that specific app. If you turn on/off this while in the app you want to block/unblock ads on but it doesn't work then just close and reopen that app, it'll work then. To note: I use server AdGuard DNS.

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.
