Configure le_dns on Android

The easiest setup — one setting on Android 9+

Android 9 introduced Private DNS — system-wide encrypted DNS over TLS with a single setting. This is the simplest and most complete DNS setup available on any mobile platform. Why change your DNS?

Android 9+ — Private DNS (recommended)

1. Open Settings → Network & internet (exact label varies by manufacturer)
2. Tap Private DNS (or Advanced → Private DNS)
3. Select Private DNS provider hostname
4. Enter: ledns.eu
5. Tap Save

That’s it. Android will automatically use DNS over TLS on port 853 for all connections — Wi-Fi and mobile data — with no further configuration needed.

Older Android / Per-network DNS

For Android 8 and below, or if you want to set DNS per Wi-Fi network:

1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi
2. Long press your network → Modify network (or tap the gear icon)
3. Tap Advanced options
4. Change IP settings from DHCP to Static
5. Set DNS 1 to 51.75.96.82
6. Set DNS 2 to 51.89.95.33
7. Tap Save

Note: This method only applies to the selected Wi-Fi network, does not cover mobile data, and does not encrypt your DNS queries.

Verify it works

Visit dnsleaktest.com in your browser. The DNS servers shown should be le_dns. If Private DNS is active, queries are encrypted and routed through ledns.eu.

You can also check Private DNS status by going back to Settings → Network & internet → Private DNS — it will show a connected status and the hostname if active.
