How to Set Up Smart DNS on Android
These instructions work for most Android phones and tablets running Android 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17.
Note: Menu option names may slightly differ depending on your device or manufacturer.
Setup Instructions:
1.
Authorize your public IP address to use Smart DNS as described in the email with your account details.
2.
Connect your Android device to the Wi-Fi network you want to use with Smart DNS.
3.
Open Settings and go to Wi-Fi or Network & Internet > Internet.
4.
Find the Wi-Fi network you are connected to and open its settings by tapping the gear icon, or press and hold the network name.
5.
Tap Edit, Modify network, or a similar option.
6.
Open Advanced options if this section is available.
7.
Find IP settings and change it from DHCP to Static.
8.
Scroll down to the DNS settings.
9.
Enter your Smart DNS IP address in DNS 1:
DNS 1: YOUR SMART DNS IP
DNS 2: Leave blank
⚠️ Important Network Notice:
Because Android requires additional network information when Static is selected, keep the existing IP address, Gateway and Network prefix length values provided by your Wi-Fi network. Do not change these values unless necessary.
10.
Tap Save or Connect.
11.
Turn Wi-Fi OFF and then ON again.
12.
Restart the streaming app you want to use.
🎉 Setup Complete!
Your Android device should now use Aeroshield Smart DNS for this Wi-Fi connection.
