Set up 1.1.1.1 - Android

1.1.1.1: Faster Internet is the preferred method of setting up 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver and 1.1.1.1 for Families. It allows you to automatically configure your phone to use 1.1.1.1 on any network you connect to.

The app also allows you to enable encryption for DNS queries or enable WARP mode, which keeps all your HTTP traffic private and secure, including your DNS queries to 1.1.1.1.

You can select between the options available in the app’s settings. By default, 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet is configured to WARP mode.

​​ Set up 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet

  1. Download 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet from Google Play for free.
  2. Launch 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet and accept the Terms of Service.
  3. Toggle the WARP button to Connected.
  4. Install the VPN profile that allows your phone to connect securely to 1.1.1.1.

Your connection to the Internet and your DNS queries are now protected.

​​ Enable 1.1.1.1 for Families

  1. Open 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet.
  2. Tap the menu button.
  3. Select Advanced > Connection options.
  4. In DNS settings > 1.1.1.1 for Families, select the option you want to use.

​​ Android 9 Pie or later

Android Pie and later supports DNS over TLS to secure your queries through encryption. In Android, this option is called Private DNS. It prevents your queries from being tracked, modified or surveilled by third-parties. Unlike previous versions of Android, this method also ensures 1.1.1.1 does not need to be configured for each new WiFi network your smartphone joins.

  1. Go to Settings > Network & internet.
  2. Select Advanced > Private DNS.
  3. Select the Private DNS provider hostname option.
  4. Enter one.one.one.one or 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com and press Save.
