Features & Capabilities

Configure and switch Private DNS modes straight from your Android Quick Settings panel. Private DNS Quick Setting lets you pick preferred DNS modes to include in the toggle and provides a quick tile for instant switching without opening system settings.

Changing the Private DNS requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission, which must be granted via Shizuku or ADB. To grant the permission with Shizuku, start the Shizuku service and open the app to have it applied automatically. To use ADB, run:

adb shell pm grant com.flashsphere.privatednsqs android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

See https://private-dns-qs.web.app/help for step-by-step setup instructions. If you need per-DNS switching between many entries, consider alternatives like https://github.com/karasevm/PrivateDNSAndroid.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for simplifying Private DNS toggling, saving time, and filling a missing feature in Android. It's praised for its straightforward function and helpful quick settings integration.
