Setting up Deep Packet Filter on Windows 10 and 11

Follow these steps to point a Windows PC at your Deep Packet Filter (DPF) DNS servers. You'll need the primary and secondary DNS addresses from your access ticket email.

1. Right-click the network icon in the system tray and choose Open Network & Internet Settings.
2. Select Change adapter options, then right-click your active connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and choose Properties.
3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
4. Choose Use the following DNS server addresses.
5. Enter your Primary DNS and Secondary DNS from the ticket.
6. Click OK on both dialogs.

Protection applies immediately to that machine — no reboot needed.

Note: this configures one PC only. To cover every device in the home or office at once, set the DNS on your router instead. If you'd rather protect the whole network, see our router setup guide. Need a hand? Our 24/7 UK support team can help.
