george Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I am normally using DNS 1.1.1.1 and secondary DNS 8.8.8.8 for my devices. Works very fast well at home and other locations. Currently I'm staying at a resort and they provide fast wifi from True Gigatex fiber (Thailand). Problem: My Macbook Air (latest MacOS 14.3) is now constantly changing my DNS back to the resort's True fiber router (192.168.x.x). When I change back to 1.1.1.1 it suddenly changes back to the resort router's DNS. Grrr.. I have tried to "forget" that network, but then I get no wifi connection at all. How do I save DNS on the Macbook so it can't change DNS automatically? I see no option to save or lock the DNS settings. On my iPhone it keeps 1.1.1.1 with no problem. Anyone? 🙏🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Found the Cloudflare App here: I am using the Internet fast lane by installing 1.1.1.1 app. It's free and protects me from Internet spies! #1dot1dot1dot1 https://warp.plus/J714x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgw Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 do you have a VPN ? that would solve your problem. I'm not an Apple product user, so I don't know much about Mac, but I'm very surprised they allow gateways to mess with clients' DNS settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google "Mac OS private DNS" for your first steps to hide lookups from your ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
