How to Change DNS on Starlink
By [FILL IN], [FILL IN] · Last updated
The Starlink router does not allow custom DNS. Use bypass mode with your own router.
Before you start
You need a FirewallDNS account (see pricing). Sign in to your dashboard, register your public IP address and copy your DNS server addresses. Replace <FIREWALLDNS-PRIMARY> and <FIREWALLDNS-SECONDARY> below with them.
Step by step
- Starlink app > Settings > Router > Bypass Starlink Wi-Fi.
- Connect your own router to the Ethernet adapter.
- Configure DNS on that router using its guide here.
Verify it works
- Renew DHCP on a client (Windows:
ipconfig /renew, macOS: reconnect Wi-Fi). - Run
nslookup example.comand check which server answered. - Open the live log in your dashboard. New lookups should appear within seconds.
