Overview

ChrisPC DNS Switch Pro lets you quickly swap DNS servers on Windows, choose privacy-focused or family-safe providers, and run a DNS benchmark to pick the fastest resolver. This guide gives a concise, step‑by‑step setup to maximize privacy and performance.

1) Install and launch

1. Download ChrisPC DNS Switch Pro from the official site and install.
2. Launch the app and allow it to run with administrative privileges when prompted (required to change adapter DNS).

2) Choose the right network adapter

1. In the main window, select your active network adapter (Wi‑Fi or Ethernet).
2. If you use a VPN, select the adapter created by the VPN client when you want DNS to apply to VPN traffic.

3) Use presets for privacy vs speed

• For privacy: pick an Anonymous DNS preset (e.g., Quad9, Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 with privacy options, or other anonymous resolvers listed). These focus on not logging or minimizing telemetry.
• For speed: pick a Regular DNS preset (e.g., Cloudflare, Google, Quad9) or run the DNS Benchmark (next step) to find the fastest for your location.
• For family filtering: use Family Safe DNS presets to block adult
