Yo, what’s up, it’s your boy Tweaks PH, and today we’re diving deep into a topic blowing up on Google Trends right now — how to make your Android browsing more secure using Private DNS settings. If you’ve been worried about online privacy, slow browsing, or shady websites, setting a trusted DNS is one of the easiest ways to boost both speed and safety on your phone.
In this post, I’ll break down the top 5 secure DNS services you can switch to today, why they matter, and how they stack up.
Why Change Your DNS on Android?
Your DNS (Domain Name System) is like the phonebook of the internet — it tells your phone where to go when you type a website name. But here’s the thing: your default DNS (usually set by your carrier or ISP) might be slow, unencrypted, or even logging your activity.
By switching to a secure third-party DNS, you get:
- Faster website loading
- Better privacy (no snooping on your traffic)
- Blocked access to malicious or adult sites (depending on the provider)
Android makes it easy with the Private DNS feature. You just pop in a provider, and boom — you’re protected.

- Google DNS →
dns.google- Fast, stable, and backed by Google’s infrastructure.
- Quad9 →
dns.quad9.net- Focuses on blocking malicious domains, malware, and phishing sites.
- NextDNS →

- CleanBrowsing (Family Filter) →

How to Set It Up on Android
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Private DNS

That’s it — your browsing is now using the new, secure DNS.
