do you enter just the DNS info? or do you give it a static ip?

You may need to give it an IP as well... Usually I can't connect unless I give it the IP...
u mean the ip of my modem?
No, he means you need to give the phone an IP.

Any way to setustatic ip address?

Do we have a way yet to set a static IP address for the chromecast? Mine are rooted and using eureka rom. My router doesn't have an option to set IP address based on mac address, and there are no custom FW available for it. In know in normal android, we get options for the device to have a static IP. Is there an option maybe for that hidden away in the Eureka rom? Or are there any other suggestions to get this accomplished?
I guess you could use dhcpsrv, the PC program a lot of use to force the Chromecast to use a desired DNS without changing the router setup. Just set it up to recognize only the Chromecast MAC address. But you'd have to have dhcpsrv running each time you powered up the Chromecast.

Customise DNS in Eureka Rom

I have 2 routers at home with 2 different DNS providers. Every time i change of wifi, it have to update the dns in eureka.
None of my dns providers are in the custom DNS in the setting section.
Is there a way I could change UnoDNS or unlock us to my provider ?
How can I do that, SSH or ftp ? Where and what file needs to be modified ?
Thanks for your answer

Reroute google DNS on Netgear AC1600 modem router

Hello everyone
I have just got a netgear router, and know that, to use Netflix on my chromecast, I can set up static routing to point google's dns to the router (so 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 - 192.168.0.1 in my case.) Is there a way that, instead of blocking all access to the google dns servers, I can reroute any Google DNS requests to the DNS service I use (unblock-us) so that the chromecast will think it's reached Google? I just think sooner or later Google will make the app force quit if the dns lookup fails. It would be good if it's possible to make it look like the requests are returned by google as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know that you can reroute using iptables in DDWRT, but I don't want to try and put different firmware on my new router just in case. Is there a way to reroute Google DNS in stock Netgear Genie firmware?
Thanks

"Private DNS" set to "Auto" sends every URL you visit to Google, even with VPN

"Private DNS" set to "Auto" sends every URL you visit to Google, even with VPN
Settings>>Connection & sharing>>Private DNS: Off/Automatic/Private DNS provider hostname
Changing this setting to Automatic will use Google as your DNS. This will OVERRIDE your VPN DNS and send your information directly to Google.
I have been trying to figure out why my phone is suddenly leaking DNS queries. (dnsleak.com) It looks like Xiaomi.eu has made "automatic" the default setting.
If you are using a VPN, just turn it off. Or you can enter a DNS hostname.
I tried to post this at Xiaomi.eu, but I can't even register an account there. Hopefully someone other than me cares about this.
Great suggestion!
I was getting crazy after I reset wifi settings on a Pocophone.
It was reset by default to on and it was bypassing my pi-hole DNS.
In addition, it is risky when using a VPN.
