Utility application to quickly swap between DNS servers for services such as http://www.unblock-us.com and https://unlocator.com/.
This utility is in no way affiliated with any of the companies providing the DNS services. It is a custom tool I made as I wanted a simple way to switch between different DNS values quickly.
A binary release can be downloaded from Releases.
It is a single unsigned executable that requires administrator privileges to run, don't forget to also download the accompanying dns.json
file.
Elevated privileges are necessary to be able to set the DNS values and restart the Network Adapter.
With the recent arms race between VPN/DNS suppliers and Netflix. The DNS server addresses are likely to start changing very rapidly. This tool helps with applying new DNS values and restarting network adapters on Windows with only a few clicks.
The tool will apply any DNS IP values you type into it and will restart the network adaptor to make sure that the new values are read and applied correctly
The tool can also quickly restore your DNS settings to "automatic"
The options offered by the tool are fully customizable through the dns.json
file that comes with the release. The application offers menu items under its "Advanced" menu to directly edit and reload the dns.json file after editing.
