Private DNS Quick Setting

Senxian Z

About this app

Configure your preferred DNS modes to toggle in app and toggle your Private DNS mode from your quick settings panel.

In order to change the Private DNS setting, this app requires the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission.

This permission can only be granted either by Shizuku or in an ADB shell.

- Shizuku (https://shizuku.rikka.app/download/)
Start Shizuku (https://shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/#start-shizuku), then open this app, and the permission should be granted automatically.

- ADB
Use the command:
adb shell pm grant com.flashsphere.privatednsqs android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Check out https://private-dns-qs.web.app/help on the steps to use ADB to grant the permission.


If you need to toggle between different DNS, consider using another app instead: https://github.com/karasevm/PrivateDNSAndroid

Ratings and reviews

Exactly what I wanted - some WiFi networks don't work with private DNS/adguard DNS and it's a chore to go to settings to turn it off/on. This app makes the entire process seamless! You do have to give it a "write secure settings" permission via adb - I just did it using a tablet with an adb app installed on it. Works flawlessly.

Since none of the tricks i found on the internet worked to clear the dns cache in android, and since i'm lazy to open settings to toggle on/off private dns, this app really helped me do just that. thanks!

Great app exactly what I needed. Some tips for anyone who is stuck, on windows press shift + right click and you will get the option to "open powershell window here". If you are getting error on the command, put ./ before the mentioned command to make it work!
