How to Change DNS Settings On PS4 for Best DNS (Easy Method)

Описание: To change DNS settings on your PS4 for potentially a faster connection, you'll need to manually configure your internet settings and input the IP addresses of public DNS servers. The "best" DNS can vary slightly based on your geographical location and internet service provider, so it's a good idea to try a couple of options to see which works best for you.

Recommended Public DNS Servers
Here are some of the most popular and generally fast public DNS server options:

Google Public DNS:
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
Why: Widely known for being fast and reliable.
Cloudflare DNS:
Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1
Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.1

Why: Often cited as one of the fastest public DNS resolvers, with a focus on privacy.
OpenDNS:
Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220

Why: A long-standing, reliable option, also known for optional security features.

How to Change DNS Settings on PS4
Follow these steps on your PS4 console:

Go to Settings: From the PS4 home screen (the main menu), scroll up to the top row and select the Settings icon (it looks like a toolbox or gear).

Select Network: In the Settings menu, scroll down and choose Network.

Select Set Up Internet Connection: This is where you'll configure your internet settings.

Choose Your Connection Method:

If you're using a physical Ethernet cable (recommended for stability and speed), select Use a LAN Cable.

If you're connecting wirelessly, select Use Wi-Fi.

Choose Custom Setup: When prompted with "Easy" or "Custom," always select Custom. This allows you to manually input the DNS.

IP Address Settings: Automatic

Select Automatic. Your router typically handles assigning your PS4 an IP address without you needing to manually set it.

DHCP Host Name: Do Not Specify
Select Do Not Specify.
DNS Settings: Manual (This is the crucial part!)
Select Manual. This will bring up fields for Primary DNS and Secondary DNS.

Enter Primary and Secondary DNS:

Using the on-screen keyboard, carefully type in the numbers for your chosen Primary DNS server (e.g., 8.8.8.8). Make sure to include the dots.

After entering the Primary DNS, move to the Secondary DNS field and type in the numbers for your chosen Secondary DNS server (e.g., 8.8.4.4).
Press Next.
MTU Settings: Automatic
Select Automatic. For most users, this setting works best.
Proxy Server: Do Not Use

Select Do Not Use. Unless you explicitly use a proxy server on your network, this should be off.
