Enter DNS Server Address

Enter the Dnsway.1 DNS server address in the Preferred DNS field. You can optionally add 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as the Alternate DNS for backup. Click Save.

Field	Value
Preferred DNS	`124.221.225.103`
Alternate DNS	`1.1.1.1` (optional)

Verify the Configuration

Open a command prompt (Windows + R → type cmd → Enter) and run:

ipconfig /all | findstr "DNS"

You should see your Dnsway.1 DNS server listed. Your Windows PC is now protected.

✅ Done! Your Windows PC is now filtering through Dnsway.1. All applications and browsers on this device will use the filtered DNS.

⚠️ Note: You need to configure DNS separately for each network adapter. If you use both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, configure both. After switching networks (e.g., from home to office), you may need to re-apply these settings.
