To set a custom DNS server for cURL requests, you can use the --dns-servers
option in cURL. Here are the steps:
Determine the IP address of the desired DNS server that you want to use.
Open your terminal or command prompt.
Use the following syntax to make a cURL request with a custom DNS server:
curl --dns-servers <DNS_SERVER_IP> <URL>
Replace <DNS_SERVER_IP>
with the IP address of the DNS server, and <URL>
with the URL you want to request.
For example, if you want to set the DNS server to 8.8.8.8
and request http://example.com
, you would use the following command:
curl --dns-servers 8.8.8.8 http://example.com
By specifying the DNS server IP, cURL will use that server to resolve domain names instead of the default DNS server configured on your system.
