andrewbadge / DNSRoaming

DNS Roaming is a free and Open Source Client and Service to ensure the DNS Servers are set via a rule / policy rather than the network a PC is connected to.

DNS Roaming Client and Service

Quick Start for Individuals

Go to Releases and download the most recent DNSRoaming-ServiceAndClient.msi file.

Run the MSI manually. Once installed run the DNS Roaming Client from the Windows Start menu to Create or Edit Rules

NB: you will need Run as Administrator to install this MSI as a Windows Service is installed.

Quick Start for Admins and Automated Deployment

Go to Releases and download the most recent DNSRoaming-ServiceOnly.msi file. You'll want to deploy this via you favourite management tool, via a policy or script.

I'd recomment to use the RULESETURL parameter when installing to make management of rules easier across many PCs.

NB: I'd also recommend installing the client using the DNSRoaming-ServiceAndClient.msi on a test machine to author the options and rules using the UI.
