Brief summary
DNS Override is an app for iPhone and iPad that makes changing DNS servers quick and straightforward. It works across both Wi-Fi and cellular connections and gives you easy access to a wide selection of public DNS and SmartDNS providers. The interface is built so users can set and switch DNS servers without technical hassle.
Supported networks and profiles
- Works with both mobile data and wireless networks.
- Create device-wide settings or separate profiles that apply automatically to any Wi‑Fi or cellular network you join.

Privacy and encrypted DNS
DNS Override can encrypt DNS lookups using DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) and DoT (DNS-over-TLS), keeping name resolution private and preventing on‑path snooping. It connects directly to the DNS provider you choose, delivering secure queries without routing traffic through a VPN or third-party proxy.
Ease of use and control
The app simplifies DNS changes on cellular connections and provides a clean, user-friendly interface for editing server preferences. Whether you want a single global setting or per-network profiles, changes are applied quickly and persistently.
