If your browsing speed feels slow or websites take too long to load, adjusting your DNS settings can help. Using a custom DNS for iPhone not only boosts speed but also improves security and can bypass region-based restrictions.

Whether you want smoother gaming, safer browsing, or faster streaming, this easy guide will show you how to set up custom DNS on your iPhone step-by-step.

Step 1: Open Wi-Fi Settings

  1. Open your Settings app.
  2. Tap Wi-Fi.
  3. Tap the (i) icon next to the network you’re connected to.

Step 2: Configure DNS

  1. Scroll to the DNS section.
  2. Tap Configure DNS.
  3. Select Manual to enter your preferred DNS servers.

Step 3: Add Custom DNS Addresses

  1. Tap Add Server.
  2. Enter the following DNS servers:
    • Primary DNS: 45.82.67.59
    • Secondary DNS: 185.164.138.20
  3. Delete old DNS entries if needed.
  4. Tap Save to confirm.

Step 4: Test Connectivity

Open Safari or any online app to verify that your internet is working properly.
If everything loads fine, your custom DNS setup is active.

Step 5: Optional – Set DNS for Mobile Data

By default, iPhones don’t let you manually change DNS for cellular data.
To apply custom DNS across all connections, install one of these free apps:

  • 1.1.1.1 by Cloudflare – Simple, fast, and private.
  • DNS Override – Full control over DNS across Wi-Fi and mobile data.

These apps route all traffic through your preferred DNS, improving consistency and privacy.

Step 6: For PlayStation Users (LobbyVPN Setup)

If you’re using LobbyVPN for gaming or unlocking regional access:

  1. Restart your PlayStation after setting DNS.
  2. Visit LobbyVPN Dashboard from your iPhone or another device connected to the same Wi-Fi.
  3. Choose your preferred location.

Important: Your iPhone (or device accessing the dashboard) must be connected to the same network as your PlayStation.

Final Step: Verify and Play

Launch your game and check if your in-game location has changed.
If not, contact LobbyVPN Support via Discord or email at [email protected] for help.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully set up a custom DNS on your iPhone and optimized your connection for better performance.
