Don't know how to change the DNS settings

1. Go to the Control Panel (Windows 7 on the left side/ Windows 8(.1) or 10) on the right side
   
   

   
   
   

2. Click (Network and Internet) -> Network and Sharing Center
   
   

   

   
   

   
   
   

3. Click Change adapter settings
   
   

   

    

4. Select the connection for which you want to check the DNS settings
   
   • If your computer is connected to the internet via ethernet (cable): right-click Local Area Connection (Ethernet) -> Properties
   • If your computer is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi: right-click Wireless Network Connection -> Properties
     
     

     
     
     

5. Under the Networking tab and This connection uses the following items, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then click Properties
   
   

   

   
   
   
6.  Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. If there are any DNS server IP addresses listed there, write them down and remove them by selecting one by one and clicking Remove (Don't alter anything else in the window) and click OK to close it
   
   

   
   
   

   

   
   
7. Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down and delete them as well.
   
   

   

   
   
   
8. Replace the addresses (if any) with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers (which are one of the most reliable):
   
   • For IPv4: Preferred DNS server - 8.8.8.8 and Alternative DNS server - 8.8.4.4
   • For IPv6: Preferred DNS server - 2001:4860:4860::8888 and Alternative DNS server - 2001:4860:4860::8844
     
     

     
     
     

9.  Close both the windows by clicking OK and restart the connection you selected in step 4 (disconnect and reconnect to it)
   
   
10.  Test if the connection is working properly (click here to learn how to test the connection properly)

5. Click "+" to add (or "-" to remove) DNS server addresses in the lower left corner (make sure to write down the already existing addresses before deleting them)
   
   

   
   
   

   Replace the addresses (if any) with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers (which are one of the most reliable):
   • IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
   • IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844
     
     
6. Click OK to apply the changes and restart the connection you selected in step 3 (disconnect and reconnect to it)

Note: Some Windows phone users are unable to modify the DNS settings, which is due to a bug in the operating system.
