Easy Way To Change DNS On Android Phone! Without VPN And ROOT (Update 2022)
Along with the rapid development of technology, one example is the development of internet technology. The development of the Internet started from Half a Century ago, the Internet is just a Military Defense project that continues to grow until now.
Now the Internet can be enjoyed by 63 percent of the world’s population. There are many positive impacts that people can take advantage of from the advancement of Internet technology. One of them is the ease of getting various information on the internet.
Of course, with the various positive impacts that come from the rapid development of the internet, there are also negative sides that arise such as the risk of leaking User Privacy Data when accessing sites on the internet. It is for this reason why DNS on Android has an important role to make surfing the internet easier.
DNS stands for Domain Name System. DNS is a system whose role is to store all domain information and data on the network. With the help of DNS, the domain will be translated into an IP address and then it will be accessible, and you don’t need to write down the ten-digit IP address in the browser.
How To Change DNS On Android
How to change DNS on an Android phone is very simple. Even you don’t need much time, you can do it. You just go into the Android phone settings.
Furthermore, you can directly set up DNS without root or need to connect to a VPN, DNS on Android phones has the function of requesting IP address information from a website.
So that when users access the internet, service providers cannot peek at the DNS that the user is using because it has been encrypted by the private DNS feature. So when Private DNS is active, we can access the internet quickly and safely from eavesdropping and leakage of user privacy data, even when using public networks such as WiFi.
When the user activates the DNS feature, internet users can access various sites that are blocked by the internet network operator.
