It’s only necessary to set up Smart DNS Proxy one time in order to use it. After you set up Smart DNS proxy, you don’t have to follow these steps. Your connection will automatically use the correct DNS settings.

It’s very simple to set up Smart DNS Proxy with most operating systems. You can set your preferred DNS to use Privado’s DNS proxy IP addresses, then it’ll be ready to go.
Change DNS Nameserver via GUI
1. Launch Settings and click the Network tab on the left side of the window.
2.Click the gear icon next to the connection you want to update.
3. Select the IPv4 tab, then turn off automatic DNS configuration by switching off the toggle next to the DNS header.
4. Change the Primary and Secondary DNS.
Input the following into the field: 91.148.225.50, 91.148.229.50
5. Click the Apply button.
6. Restart your Computer.
We recommend that you restart your computer whenever you make any settings changes. Many computers will automatically restart when you save new settings, but just in case it’s a good idea to manually restart anyway.
Change DNS Nameserver via Config File
1. Go to the Netplan directory:
cd /etc/netplan
2.Type in ls to check the directory contents. You want to find the yaml file (it should have the extension .yaml).
3. Open the file in a text editor.
Your file may have a different name, but for example:
sudo nano 01-network-manager.yaml
4. Change the Primary and Secondary DNS.
Find the nameservers section under either “ethernets” (for wired connections) or “wifis” (for wireless connections). There will be a line that says “addresses”.
Input the following after the colon next to “addresses”: [91.148.225.50, 91.148.229.50]
5. Save the file and exit.
6. Restart your Computer.
We recommend that you restart your computer whenever you make any settings changes. Many computers will automatically restart when you save new settings, but just in case it’s a good idea to manually restart anyway.
