If you’re not already using a VPN, sign up for one. We recommend ExpressVPN. Once you’ve signed up for a VPN and downloaded the app, open it and connect to a server. Any server will do, but we recommend choosing one in your country for the fastest speeds.
Now that you’re connected to a VPN server, open your web browser and go to any website. You should now be able to browse the internet freely and safely, without having to worry about anyone snooping on your traffic.
Go to the Network and Sharing Center.

Click the radio button next to Use the following DNS server addresses.
In the Preferred DNS server field, enter the address of your local DNS server.
Click OK to save your changes.
