The only DNS option I see is asking for a Private DNS host name if I turn off "Automatic"...

When I was a young T-Rex, I always specified DNS servers via their actual IP addresses ... I tried 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) .... phone won't accept that.

What host name should I enter?

Thanks!

How far the mighty have fallen...



"dns.google" should work. But, fargin' idiot Android developers. "give us an FQDN (that requires DNS to work) as a static DNS server entry." Really?

Give it a shot and see what happens.

I used to be (many years ago) a hardcore Android user. I had the "G1" and the "G2" and another HTC Android before I switched over, and they were great (and at the time, IMO, more advanced than Apple). I rooted them. At one job, I had IPSec VPN setup and could connect to work, and could then use a terminal app to get into network devices from my phone. They were extremely capable. I eventually went to the dark side (Apple).

On my apple today, I can add several static DNS servers by IP.
