QuickSetDNS

QuickSetDNS facilitates an easy method for changing the DNS server configuration applied to your Internet connection. It's a feather-light tool that requires no installation or know-how, enabling even casual PC users to get the job done. Advanced users can use command lines.

It's wrapped in a portable package represented by a single executable file, which can just be double-clicked to launch the program. You can save it in a custom location on the disk or store it on a removable storage unit to run it on any PC directly. More importantly, it doesn't create additional .ini files or modify Windows registry entries after using it.

As far as the GUI is concerned, QuickSetDNS adopts the same straightforward approach that the developer applies to most of its freeware tools.

The default DNS settings are loaded at startup, so you can view the name and IP address of each profile, and find out which one is active. It's possible to cycle through your network adapters, make any DNS server active, copy SetDNS command lines, as well as add new servers to the list by specifying the DNS name and IP addresses (in command-delimited list format).

You can edit these properties later or remove any entry from the list, save selected items to report files in text, CSV, HTML or XML format, find items using a basic search tool, or integrate the application into the systray for quick access.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the OS to hang, crash or prompt error messages. Unsurprisingly, it had minimal impact on the computer's performance.

To wrap it up, QuickSetDNS provides users of all levels with a simple and effective method for editing DNS server settings for their web connection.
