Find fastest DNS
1. Click the “Fastest DNS” button
2. Click the “Start DNS Test” button
DNS Jumper will find the fastest DNS IPs and mark them (green) and will automatically sort the IPs based on speed.
3. The fastest DNS server will be auto-selected and you can click “Apply DNS Server” in the bottom right of the window to apply it. Right click any DNS entry to see a context menu which offers options to Apply DNS, mark or unmark all DNS, get information on the selected DNS, or use the DNS Group feature.
If you have a long list of DNS servers and want to find the resolve times, you can use the Turbo Resolve feature. It will drastically reduce the total test time.
Note: The Fastest DNS feature only works for IPv4
Add or delete a DNS or DNS group
Add or delete a DNS server: Click the “DNS Options” button (gear icon) (1)
The settings page will open to the DNS List tab. You can now edit the default DNS server list, or choose another from the drop-down list (1). From here you can add or delete a server from the list, change its name, or its IP address. When making changes you will need to click the “Save Changes” button to apply them.
Add or delete a DNS server Group: There are two methods for adding or deleting a group.
a) via the user interface : Click the Add (blue plus sign) button (2) and type in a name for your group. This will open a new blank DNS server list, to which you can manually add your own servers. You can delete a group by using the Delete (red minus sign) button (3)
b) via the DNSJumper.ini: To avoid problems, close DNS Jumper before editing the .ini. Right-click the dnsjumper.ini file and select “open with Notepad”.
and Add your new IPv4 or IPv6 group
1. Ipv4 or IPv6
2. Group Name
3. Location
4. DNS Name
5. Preffered DNS
6. Alternate DNS
7. True=included in fastest DNS test, false=not included in the test
To delete a DNS group, select it and delete it. The same goes for IPv6.
Changing Dns list order
You can easily reorder your DNS Server list with drag and drop. As shown in the screenshot above, to move “US-OpenDNS-2” down the list, left click it and drag it to its new position and release.
Start DNS jumper on system startup
To have DNS Jumper auto-start with Windows, Click the “DNS Options” button (blue gear) then select the “General Settings” tab. Near the bottom, tick the box next to “Start DNS Jumper on system startup”
Run fastest Dns test at startup and apply it Automatically
In the same General Settings area, tick the box next to “Apply following parameters at system startup”, and in the text field below that type in “/T default” (without quotes). You can also apply other settings at startup using the correct parameters. Click the light bulb icon to the far right for more information regarding parameters.
Dns Jumper’s Cmd parameters
In a command prompt, running “dnsjumper.exe /?” (no quotes) will list all available parameters. See also the screenshot above.
Adding Your Own Language
In the main DNS Jumper window, click the Options button on the bottom left, then select “Languages –> Translate”

@Nabil

Add option to add dns server to the list on GUI.
We have noted it down , thanks.
Thank you for another Great tool! I didn’t see any Default listing for my ISP’s DNS in your list. I use Cox ISP. I assumed the tool would add whatever your default DNS is to the list of DNS’s so when you ran the speed check, it would compare your DNS to the other popular DNS’s you’ve listed. I added it manually after looking the addresses up using Ipconfig/all. Perhaps this is a feature you may want to add or if it’s in there perhaps I just overlooked it. Ad blocking DNS’s are becoming more popular so we won’t have to run ad blockers on our PC’s and so companies like Youtube cannot block our video players when they detect an ad blocker running because if blocked at the DNS there are none to detect. It was great to use your tool to compare all the popular ad blocking free DNS’s so I could find the fastest one. It’s great to be able to quickly switch DNS’s to test them! You guys Rock!
NO LAG
We have noted down your request. You can use the Dns Lock application.

Nice app, it would also be very good and efficient if it had some option to lock the chosen DNS to avoid changes by the system!
Thank you for your comment, we’ve added it to our Update Notes.
Hello.
I set DnsJumper.ini parameter ResolveDomainName=mysite.com to my own site name to test DNS servers support this site resolution, but despite DnsJumper "Fastest DNS" test results showing green line, the command nslookup mysite.com DNSIP returns this server does not resolve this address. Could you please fix this, so test results reflect actual resolving of the site?
Adguard dns servers were added. Your DnsJumper.ini file may be out of date. You can update the list with Options -> Update option on the Dns Jumper screen.
Any specific reason why adguard-dns not on your list?
Якась конкретна причина, чому його немає у вашому списку?
Hi, any chance to have android supported app in the coming days?
Can I set a DoH/DoQ/DNS-over-TLS/DNS-over-Tor URL?
@Raymond
You can create a task in the task scheduler to run at one hour intervals using the /T parameter.
Hi.
Thanks for this software.
Please add a feature so the software can update the dns automatically to the fastest dns, for example each 1-hour.
Thanks again,
All the best.
Just Look at this link
