   Note: That Android requires a static IP to use custom DNS servers. This setup requires additional setup on your router, affecting your network’s strategy for adding new devices to the network. We recommend configuring your router’s DNS instead. This will give all devices on your network the full speed and privacy benefits of 1.1.1.1 DNS.
