How to Change DNS Settings on iOS

What Is DNS?

A DNS (Domain Name System) translates website names, such as www.cyberghostvpn.com, into IP addresses that devices use to communicate with websites and online services.

Most devices use DNS servers provided automatically by your internet service provider (ISP). However, you can choose to use a different DNS provider if needed.

Important: When you connect to CyberGhost VPN, the app uses CyberGhost VPN's DNS servers. Any DNS servers you configure on your iPhone or iPad will only apply when the VPN is disconnected.
