DNS Toggle

DNS Toggle is a security application developed by Eric Lowry, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.1 weighing in at 1.9 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
2. File size is a light 1.9 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
3. This build is signed by "Eric Lowry" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

DNS Toggle is a small Android app that allows you to easily toggle and automate your phone's Private DNS through the Quick Settings panel.

IMPORTANT:
To modify Private DNS system settings, this app requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission. You must either have a rooted device, use Shizuku, or manually grant it via ADB:
 adb shell pm grant com.ericlowry.dnstoggle android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Features

• Quick Settings Tile: Toggle Private DNS on/off directly from the Quick Settings panel.
• Custom DNS Providers: Define one or more preferred hostnames (e.g., dns.nextdns.io) and seamlessly switch between them.
• Wi-Fi Filtering: Automatically disable Private DNS when connected to specific Wi-Fi networks.
• Automatic Blocking: Automatically blacklists the current Wi-Fi SSID when Private DNS causes connectivity issues.
• VPN Override: Automatically enforce a specific DNS hostname or disable Private DNS entirely whenever a VPN is active on your device.
• Backup & Restore: Export and import your configuration via password-encrypted files.
• Dynamic Tile Labeling: Rename the Quick Settings tile.
• Hide App Icon: Keep your home screen clean while maintaining access via the Quick Settings tile.

Privacy & Permissions

• No tracking, no ads, and no data collection.
• Location permissions are optional, and only used to identify Wi-Fi network names for the SSID Filter feature. They are never used to track your physical location.

Is DNS Toggle free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does DNS Toggle require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is DNS Toggle safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Eric Lowry. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update DNS Toggle?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.

1. Tap the Download APK button above and save the file to your device.
2. Open your device Settings → Security (or Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps) and allow your file manager or browser to install unknown apps for this one file only.
3. Open the downloaded com.ericlowry.dnstoggle.apk file from your Downloads folder.
4. Tap Install and wait for Android to finish.
5. Open «DNS Toggle» by Eric Lowry and grant only the permissions it actually needs.
6. Revoke the "unknown sources" permission once you are done installing.
