Title: DNS switching (easy?)
Post by: Growler on April 04, 2013, 03:07:27 pm

Is there anyway I can simply change between multiple DNS servers without having to go through the TCP/IP etc.

I run & have access to about 15 dif servers round the world, some are better for certain things (Cali for Netflix, London for BBC etc) But it's a complete pain having to change all the time, an app I could just click and set would be fucking awesome!

Any ides?

command line:

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 123.123.123.123

Write something to change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] & Interfaces\{blurgh}
"NameServer"="" to whatever.
Then ipconfig /registerdns

Follow Craig suggestion - except type it into a notepad.

Save the notepad as 'BBC DNS.bat'

Right click on your Batch file - run as administrator

Done

Craigs suggestion is easy as.

Create a bunch of bat files, i.e US.bat, NZ.bat, UK.bat

In each of them put the above command, with the relevant DNS address,

Done!

I posted at the same time, didn't even read yours.

We must be the same person. Or we are good and evil versions of each other.

Try that.

follow example config in server.txt to add DNS entries.

Haven't tested it really.
Updated...

Probably run as admin.
