¶ Legacy DNS
Follow the steps below to configure ControlD DNS on your Nintendo Switch. Keep in mind that it only supports legacy DNS.
¶ Step 1
Navigate to the console Settings from the home screen.
¶ Step 2
Open the Internet section and then select Internet settings.
¶ Step 3
From here, choose the Wi-Fi network that you are using on the Switch.
¶ Step 4
Select the Change Settings option.
¶ Step 5
Scroll down and select the DNS Settings.
¶ Step 6
Choose the Manual option.
¶ Step 7
The Switch lets you set a Primary and a Secondary DNS. Select the Primary DNS option as that is the only one we'll configure.
¶ Step 8
Now you can input the ControlD DNS IP. If you're configuring our free DNS resolvers, you can use one of these:
- Unfiltered → 76.76.2.0
- Block Malware → 76.76.2.1
- Block Malware + Ads → 76.76.2.2
- Block Malware + Ads + Social → 76.76.2.3
If you are configuring a custom DNS resolver, you can find your custom DNS IP in the My Account section:
Enter the DNS IP you will use and press OK.
¶ Step 9
Finally, press the Save button to finish the setup.
After the configuration is saved, you are done! You're now using ControlD on your console.
