Private DNS Quick Setting

Private DNS Quick Setting

App Overview and Core Features

• Effortlessly manage and switch your Android device's Private DNS settings directly from your Quick Settings pull-down panel.

• Custom-configure your preferred DNS profiles within the app to quickly cycle between Off, Automatic, and Custom Private DNS modes.

• Streamline network privacy management without navigating deep into device settings menus.

Required System Permissions

• Modifying system-level network configurations requires the advanced elevated permission: WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.

• Standard Android system prompts cannot grant this permission due to built-in security policies.

• You must grant this permission once during initial setup using either Shizuku or an ADB command line interface.

Option 1: Setup via Shizuku (Recommended for On-Device Setup)

• Download and install the Shizuku app from: https://shizuku.rikka.app/download/

• Initialize the Shizuku service by following the guide at: https://shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/#start-shizuku

• Launch the Private DNS Quick Setting app; the system will automatically prompt and grant the necessary permission.

Option 2: Setup via ADB (Android Debug Bridge)

• Connect your smartphone to a computer configured with ADB tools.

• Open a terminal or command prompt window on your computer.

• Run the following command to grant the required permission: adb shell pm grant com.flashsphere.privatednsqs android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

• For a complete, step-by-step tutorial on using ADB for this app, visit the official help page at: https://private-dns-qs.web.app/help
