How to Enable External DNS on MeshConnect

When computers want to connect to the internet, the DNS service, or Domain Name System, is in charge of translating domain names into numeric IP addresses. By default, MeshConnect uses Cloudflare’s and Google’s DNS servers to convert domain names into IP addresses. However, users can bring their own DNS server to MeshConnect and use it instead of the default values.

This article describes how to enable an external DNS server on a MeshConnect network from the UTunnel web dashboard.
