How to use custom DNS in Multilogin

Written by Yelena V ( Updated on May 5th, 2025 )

Updated on May 5th, 2025

Even with a proxy, your DNS settings can still expose your real IP address – defeating the whole purpose of masking it. Some proxies don’t have their own DNS, while others may leak your actual DNS server IP. Using affiliate DNS servers (like Google DNS for Google services) can also reveal your identity.

How do you fix this? Simple – change your DNS settings to custom values. Let’s break it down.

Want to safely manage multiple Reddit accounts? This article shows you how to use Reddit proxies with Multilogin’s antidetect browser to avoid bans, scrape data securely, and keep your accounts undetectable.

 

Alternative DNS servers

To set custom DNS values, simply choose an existing DNS server (there are many publicly available ones). It's a good idea to pick a local DNS server that matches your external IP location. However, some worldwide DNS servers are also quite common.

Below is a list of popular solutions, and you can search for more alternatives online.

Provider Primary DNS Secondary DNS
Alternate DNS 76.76.19.19 76.223.122.150
AdGuard DNS 94.140.14.14 94.140.15.15
Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1
CleanBrowsing 185.228.168.9 185.228.169.9
Control D 76.76.2.0 76.76.10.0
Google 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Level3 209.244.0.3 209.244.0.4
Neustar  156.154.70.5 156.157.71.5
OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

How to set up custom DNS servers

Multilogin X

At this moment, custom DNS functionality is not supported in Multilogin X. We're already working on resolving this issue and apologize for this temporary inconvenience. 

 

Mimic

  1. Go to chrome://settings/security
  2. Scroll down to the “Advanced” section and enable the setting “Use secure DNS”
  3. Choose “Select DNS provider” from a drop-down menu
  4. Enter your custom DNS query URL

Stealthfox

  1. Go to about:preferences#privacy
  2. At the bottom of the page, select “Enable DNS over HTTPS using increased protection”
  3. Choose “Custom” from a drop-down menu
  4. Enter your DNS server IP
 
 

Multilogin 6

Our built-in custom DNS functionality only works with Socks 5, Socks 4 proxies, VPN, or direct connection.

 

In profile settings, click "Advanced" → "Other" → “Custom DNS”. To define multiple DNS values, use a semicolon as a delimiter (for example, 8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4).

 
 

How to check for DNS leaks

You can check for DNS leaks on these websites:

  • DNS leak test
  • WHOER

What to look for?

  • ✅ If the test only shows your proxy or VPN’s DNS, you're safe
  • ❌ If you see your real IP or ISP’s DNS, you have a DNS leak!
