You use Domain Name System (DNS) servers many times every day, even if you don\u2019t know what they are. You can\u2019t avoid it, and whichever one you use can track where you go on the internet. That\u2019s why you might consider switching to the free DNS servers Surfshark just launched that promise not to track you.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to set your iPhone, iPad and Mac to use the Surfshark DNS server. It\u2019s free!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A more private and free domain name server<\/h3>\n

We humans like names, but computers prefer numbers. It\u2019s the job of a Domain Name Server<\/a> to turn website names like cultofmac.com into an IP address. Mostly these are run by internet service providers, and setting the DNS to make a record of every site you visit is easy.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Surfshark says its \u201cnew public DNS server ensures privacy<\/a> by not logging browsing history, data transfers, or any other internet behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative reflects our dedication to the privacy community and addresses the increasing demand for trustworthy, privacy-first DNS solutions,\u201d says Karolis Kaciulis, leading system engineer at Surfshark. \u201cOur DNS service is designed with both stable connectivity and privacy in mind, offering a robust network that doesn\u2019t store or track personal data, giving users a private, seamless browsing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company promises an independent audit to confirm that it is not collecting, storing or sharing user browsing data.<\/p>\n

To be clear, Surfshark is not the only privacy-protecting DNS server, only the newest. Cloudflare offers one called 1.1.1.1<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n

How to switch to Surfshark\u2019s free DNS server on iPhone and iPad<\/h2>\n
\"DNS<\/a>
Change your Wi-Fi connection to Manual DNS

The process to change DNS servers on an iPhone and iPad is nearly identical. Start by opening the Settings<\/strong> app, then tap on Wi-Fi<\/strong> and connect to your usual wireless network<\/strong>. Next, tap the blue i icon<\/strong> next to that network.<\/p>\n

On the resulting window, scroll down to Configure DNS<\/strong> and tap on it. Switch to Manual<\/strong> by tapping on it.<\/p>\n

\"DNS<\/a>
Revove your old DNS server and add Surfshark\u2019s.

This causes a list of DNS Servers to appear. What\u2019s shown is the one from your ISP that\u2019s probably tracking you. Remove it from the list by tapping the red circle next to it.<\/p>\n

Next, tap Add Server<\/strong> and enter 194.169.169.169. Tap Save<\/strong> to apply the changes.<\/p>\n

Note that you need to make the same change on every Wi-Fi network you connect to, like the ones at your home and office.<\/p>\n

Switch to Surfshark DNS on Mac<\/h3>\n

The process for Mac users to move to Surfshark\u2019s free DNS servers is somewhat similar to the iPhone\/iPad one. Just follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click on the Apple menu<\/strong> \uf8ff and select System Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on Network<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Choose your active network connection<\/strong> (e.g., Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and click Details<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Go to the DNS tab<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. Click the + button<\/strong> to add 194.169.169.169 as IPv4 and 2a09:a707:169:: IPv6 addresses.<\/li>\n
  6. Click OK<\/strong> and then Apply<\/strong> to save your changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Change the DNS server on your network router<\/h3>\n

    Rather than on your computers, you can change the DNS server on your router instead\u2026 assuming it\u2019s your own so you have access to the settings.<\/p>\n

    You can follow Surfshark\u2018s recommended instructions for changing the router\u2019s DNS server, but the exact process varies between router models:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open a web browser and enter your router\u2019s IP address (commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) to access its settings.<\/li>\n
    2. Enter the admin username and password (often found on the router or in its manual).<\/li>\n
    3. Look for DNS settings under \u201cInternet\u201d or \u201cWAN\u201d settings.<\/li>\n
    4. Input 194.169.169.169 as IPv4 and 2a09:a707:169:: as IPv6 addresses.<\/li>\n
    5. Save the changes and reboot the router if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If these aren\u2018t helpful, do a Google search for your specific router model and \u201cchange DNS server\u201d to find more useful instructions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
