Mikrotik Router Setup Guide

The first step is the same for both Static and Dynamic IP address configurations: change your router’s DNS servers to SafeDNS addresses - 195.46.39.39 and 195.46.39.40

To do that, open the configuration page of the Mikrotik router, and navigate to Menu > IP >DHCP Server > Networks.

Select the network used by the DHCP server and change/add the SafeDNS addresses - 195.46.39.39 and 195.46.39.40.
