Features & Capabilities

DNS Changer by Protectstar is a lightweight Android app that lets you switch DNS servers on your phone or tablet in a few taps, without root access. Use fast, privacy‑friendly DNS on Wi‑Fi and mobile data to speed up loading times, reduce ping, and protect against malicious domains at the DNS level.

Key features include ready‑made profiles (Security DNS, Privacy DNS, Gaming DNS, Family‑filter DNS), per‑app DNS control (PRO), a built‑in DNS speed test, and the ability to save profiles like Home, Work, or Gaming. It supports IPv4/IPv6 and popular DNS providers (Cloudflare, Google Public DNS, AdGuard DNS, Quad9, CleanBrowsing). Privacy is protected—no data selling—and PRO features are available via in‑app subscription for more control.

User Reviews

Users report fast DNS switching and some ad-blocking success, but consistency varies. Price and feature disclosures are a frequent complaint, as is potential performance impact. Usability gaps and misconceptions about the app’s purpose (device ID changer vs VPN) are common concerns. Overall sentiment is mixed with reliability and transparency as the main issues.

Pros

Fast DNS switching with quick connection to selected servers
Ad-blocking works for many apps, though not universally
Perceived security features and protection (DNS-based security and antivirus integration)

Cons

Ad-blocking is inconsistent or ineffective for some apps
Pricing is not clearly disclosed; users feel charged for features that may be free
No speed improvement and possible slowdown when using DNS changes
Usability issues and friction; some users have trouble using the app or must manually change DNS
Misleading branding: app marketed as a device ID changer, but it functions as a VPN
