Can you use DNS and VPN at the same time?
You cannot use both VPN and the Smart DNS service at the same time as they conflict with each other. Also, the VPN encryption will affect the speed of the internet connection and you will lose the biggest advantage of using Smart DNS. There is only one case when it is practical to use both services at the same time.
Do I need to change DNS when using VPN?
Yes, you need to change the DNS while using the virtual private network. The main issue is that DNS is working with the Domain name while VPN depends on the IP(Internet Protocol) address. So, if you use DNS with VPN then it requires the same web address of the VPN and DNS to work.
Which is better DNS or VPN?
Speed. A smart DNS has a smaller impact on your internet speed than VPN. This is because VPN needs to use some bandwidth for encryption. As smart DNS doesn’t encrypt your data, this makes your connection faster.
Where can I find my DNS settings?

How to make Android use the DNS server of your choice?
Here you can turn off Private DNS (so your ISP’s server will be used), set it to automatic (where Android will attempt to use DNS-over-TLS with your ISP’s server), or always use a custom server. You can type a custom server into the address field, but it has to be the TLS hostname and not just a string of numbers.
Why do I need to change my DNS settings on my phone?
If you want all devices that connect to your local network to use the same DNS service, the easiest thing you can do is set it up on your router. But there might be times when you want your phone or tablet to use a specific DNS server. Or, maybe you are on a different Wi-Fi network and you want to temporarily change the IP and/or DNS service.
Which is the default DNS server for Google?
DNS is what takes you to Google when you type in google.com, so as you can imagine, DNS is a critical part of the infrastructure of the internet. While most people simply use the default DNS servers provided by their carrier or internet service provider, alternative servers do exist.
Is there a DNS server for Android 9 Pie?
The OS version (8.0, 9.0, 10.0, etc.) should be listed somewhere. Android 9 Pie introduced a system-wide DNS setting, so instead of changing the DNS for each individual network, you can do it in one place. However, Android requires that the DNS service supports DNS-over-TLS, so not every server will work.
