You can manually set a static IP address by accessing your router’s admin panel and entering the desired IP and subnet settings directly. If you don’t see DNS info, check the router’s manual or look for network configuration options that let you assign static IPs without DNS visibility.

When using standard router configurations, the DNS settings point to the router's IP address. Switching to a different setup allows you to bypass the router entirely. For reliable options, consider Google's public DNS (8.8.8.8) as primary and CloudFlare's (1.1.1.1) as secondary. If your device is assigned via DHCP, running 'ipconfig /all' in Command Prompt will display current gateway and DNS information.

Sure, the default gateway is set as your DNS server. You can definitely use a cloud provider like Cloudflare or Google on your PC for port forwarding instead of the router—just make sure it doesn’t affect your network security. Let me know if you need help with that setup!

DNS isn't really connected to port forwarding. The default gateway is your router's IP address. By default, the router assigns itself as the DNS server, which usually connects to your ISP's DNS servers. On the PC, you can simply choose Google or CloudFlare, and it should work fine. This shouldn't affect port forwarding.
