I used the 1.1.1.1 app for a while, everything worked fine, but I switched to a personal DNS (a pihole) and wanted to stop using that service. The app won’t let me update my DNS settings. What I tried:
- Turned it off, but can’t change DNS on the phone
- Uninstalled it, still forces 1.1.1.1 with DNS over HTTPS
- Rebooted the phone, no difference
- Reset network and logged in again, still stuck on 1.1.1.1
Phone model: Galaxy A5 (2017), Android 8.0.0
What’s going on? Checking the app’s help page at http://1.1.1.1/help

It refers to a limitation where you can't modify the DNS server settings. It likely displays information about the current DNS configuration or restrictions in place.

I'm sorry for the confusion. After turning off and removing the 1.1.1.1 app, I connected my Wi-Fi to my network using either DHCP or a custom DNS like 8.8.8.8. Everything worked fine, and the phone accepted my settings. Yet when I visited http://1.1.1.1/help, it showed that my device was still relying on the configuration from the removed app.
