Right-click on your network connection

Right-click on your network connection (usually named Ethernet or Local Area Connection) and select Status.

In the new window, press Properties.

Properties for Ethernet

In the list, find Internet Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4). Select it (without unchecking the box) and click on Properties again.

7.

DNS adresses

In the box that appears, go to the bottom and check the box that says “Use the following DNS server addresses:”. Fill in the preferred and alternative DNS server. For example, you can use Google’s DNS servers as shown here.

Preferred: 8.8.8.8
Alternative: 8.8.4.4

8.

Confirm the changes

Press OK to save the changes and close the windows.

You’re done! Now you can try opening a website in your browser with the new DNS server. To be completely sure that the new server is being used, you can unplug the network cable and plug it back in.

Done!
