Changing your DNS is a pretty common and good way to increase your privacy, safety and also increase internet speed, but it can be tiresome to open settings and switch it manually, or you could make a simple shortcut for it, her e it is how we can do it.
In this article, we are going to use a freeware tool from NirSoft, which is one of the only freeware tools that we can trust.
Downloading the Tool
if you are ready to begin, download QuickSetDNS tool from the Nirsoft’s official website. Just scroll to the bottom of the page and you can download the zip file which has an executable file. Once you have downloaded this program, create a folder on your desktop named QSDNS (or just wherever you want to put it), and then extract contents into this folder.
Launching and Using the QuickSetDNS
QSDNS is a standalone application so, there is no further installation required. Just open the file where you have extracted files and double-click on “QuickSetDNS.exe” file.
