Here is a compilation of different ways to change/set the DNS Server in Android Devices

In this thread, I'll be setting the DNS Servers to 8.8.88 & 8.8.4.4 (Google DNS).
You can use any DNS server of your wish.

method1

great list tks. re method 1, in my experience you have to give an ip address as otherwise you can't save the settings, which then turns out you have to give the device a static ip at your router.

Great list...

Now how about you tell us which versions of Android these work on?

Since Android 6.1.x you can only change the DNS for tethered devices and nothing else. Everything else is ignored, no matter what you set or which app you use.

Modifying the 20-dns.conf file worked for me on 7.0.

Help please,
Do u guys think dns changer app still needed if dns already change through build prop( kernel adiutor)? Or mod app like fly on mod?

Feels like its redundant

Is it possible to change dns host name permanently?
So it wont be changed to default after reboot..

Nice guide, if you have a Raspberry Pi install Pi-Hole on it, then set your home ip as DNS server on your phone/tablet and you'll have have adblocker on your phone/tablet.:good::good:

This thread has no other occurrence of "iptables" - would you mind including a reference.
I'm wasting far too much time reading solutions that don't work on CM13 - Android 6.0.1.

OP - Rooted Devices - Method 5 - it's right there, page 1.
There's an app too.
How much time can that waste?
(If it takes too long to go back one page, the OP is quoted just above your post)
:rolleyes:
