Router — protect every device at once
Change DNS on your router once, and every device on the network is protected — phones, TVs, consoles, IoT, guest devices. Menu wording differs by vendor; the DNS setting is usually under WAN, Internet, or DHCP.
- Log into the router admin page (typically
192.168.1.1or192.168.0.1). - Find DNS settings — usually under Internet, WAN, or DHCP Server.
- Change DNS mode to Manual (or similar).
- Set Primary DNS to
210.187.49.141. Clear any secondary DNS or set it to the same IP. - Save and reboot the router.
- Reconnect a device to Wi-Fi (or wait for DHCP lease to refresh).
If Android devices ignore router DNS, set Private DNS manually on each — see the Android page. Same for iOS with the Configuration Profile.

Troubleshooting
Router rejects the setting / reverts to ISP DNS.
Some ISP-supplied routers lock DNS. Put the router in bridge mode and use your own, or set DNS per-device.
Only the WAN DNS field exists, no LAN / DHCP DNS.
Setting WAN DNS is enough on most consumer routers — the DHCP server automatically passes the same DNS to clients.
Android 9+ phones still using ISP DNS.
Private DNS on Android 9+ overrides DHCP. Set Private DNS to the ScamLens hostname on each device.
