The following instructions are for Windows 10. If you're running an older version you can still follow the same steps, except some of the screens you see may look a little different. If you've "upgraded" to Windows 11, may God help you. You can probably follow the same steps but who knows? You're on your own.

Note: blockerDNS needs to know who you are when you make a DNS request so that the right blocking settings are applied. For DoT and DoH you don't need to do anything because you have a unique URL that includes your username. But for standard DNS, you need to associate your public IP address with your blockerDNS account. Read about that here.
