An open-source desktop application for changing DNS server settings on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is built with Electron, React, and TypeScript, and bundles a curated list of DNS servers in a simple GUI.
Use cases
- change dns server on windows without editing network settings
- switch to faster or filtered dns servers on mac
- apply shecan dns to bypass iranian filtering
- quickly reset dns settings back to default
- find the best dns servers in one app
- change dns on linux desktop
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source GUI to switch DNS servers across Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you need quick access to DNS servers like Shecan for circumventing regional restrictions
- you prefer not to manually edit network adapter settings
When to avoid
- you need a full VPN or encrypted tunnel rather than plain DNS changes
- you want DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS system-wide configuration or router-level DNS management
- you need a headless or CLI-only tool for servers
