DNS Changer - Lilly, by Aykut Çevik, is an Android utility for changing the DNS server used by your device. It lets users choose from a built-in DNS server list or enter a custom DNS server manually. The app works across connection types such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and does not require root access.

How it applies DNS settings

Lilly uses Android’s VPN service feature to set DNS servers across supported connection types. Traffic is not routed through the app’s own server, and this can be verified by checking the device’s IP address, running a speed test, or reviewing connection settings. In practical terms, the app functions as a DNS changer rather than a traditional VPN.

Setup and control features

The app offers a simple setup process: select a DNS server from the hand-picked list or enter a custom DNS server, then enable the setting. It also includes a connect-on-boot option, plus the ability to pause and continue DNS settings without reopening the app.

For parental-control use cases, DNS Changer - Lilly includes PIN security and an optional Device Administrator feature that can prevent the app from being uninstalled. Device Administrator permission is used for uninstall protection.

DNS features and limits

Although Lilly uses Android’s VPN service feature, it does not provide full VPN protection. It does not hide the user’s IP address, encrypt all traffic, or route internet activity through a private VPN server. Any performance improvement would depend on DNS response speed, not on increasing the device’s actual internet bandwidth. The app is free, but it may sometimes show small, non-disruptive ads to support continued development.

Quick DNS switching tool

DNS Changer - Lilly is a practical tool for Android users who want quick DNS control without rooting their device. It is best suited for setting custom DNS servers, applying DNS changes across common connection types, and using basic parental-control protections. Users who need IP masking, full traffic encryption, or broader VPN privacy features should choose a dedicated VPN instead.
