Windows 11 DNS Setup

Step-by-step guide

1. From the Taskbar panel, right-click on the Wi-Fi (or LAN) icon and select Network and Internet settings:

2. Select Advanced network settings.

3. Scroll down and select More network adapter options

Preferred DNS server: 195.46.39.39
Alternate DNS server: 195.46.39.40

6.  Click the OK button to save your settings, and Close the network properties window.

7. Navigate to the SafeDNS Dashboard > Settings and copy your IP address in the "Enter an IP-address or DynDNS" box. Click "Add".

You have successfully configured the SafeDNS for Windows 11.
