I'm tired about people that actually install apps to configure something that's extremly easy to configure without an app. That's why I'm now making a guide for this so that people use the DNS Option smarter in the future.

Device Management Profile Option:

  • Go to this Github repo and choose a DNS service
  • Click on the Install button (there should stand something with HTTPS, TLS) If you don't know what that means just use HTTPS
  • a popup should come up click allow on it
  • Open Settings and install the downloaded profile (a message that a profile has been downloaded should be under your Apple ID just click on it)
  • If you've done every step you are now done congrats

Advantage using the Device Management Profile Option: It works not only on WiFi instead it works on both mobile data and WiFi

WiFi DNS Option (only works on WiFi, good for IPads without mobile data):

  • Open Settings and tap on WiFi
  • Tap on "i" next to the WiFi you want to change the DNS Server for
  • Scroll down and tap on Configure DNS
  • Tap on Manual -> Add Server
  • Next type the server adress of the preffered DNS Server
  • Finally, tap on save

Router DNS Option:

You can also change the DNS Server adress directly inside your router settings. Just look up how to do it on your specific router and you will have the same result you get from the first option for every Device connected to the router.
