Summary: iPhone or iPad DNS Bypass is a popular solution for iCloud locked devices, read on to learn more about this.

Have you purchased a second-hand iPhone/iPad and its iCloud Activation Lock is enabled? Or you own an Apple device, but have forgotten its iCloud password? In either situation, you can’t use locked devices without iCloud activation.

You may try to contact Apple customer support, but they are not going to help you straightforward without user authentication. You will be asked a lot of questions, and they may demand the original iOS device payment receipt, even after the authentication of the device.

To avoid these complications, one of the best free ways is to get your Apple device unlocked using iCloud DNS Bypass.

Part 1. What is “iCloud DNS Bypass”?

Every time you setup your iOS device after a factory reset or restore, your iOS device will sent an activation request to Apple server. Apple processes the request and shows the status of your device. And if your device’s Find My iPhone function is turned ON, iCloud Activation Lock screen will pop up, asking you to provide iCloud account login details.

If you have forgotten your login details (Apple ID or password), or you get a second-hand device with iCloud lock enabled, then the iCloud DNS Bypass is here to help you. It is one of the free iCloud unlocking methods.

Domain Name System (DNS) converts the readable names into numerical IP addresses. It uses the DNS server which acts as a host to run the application. If your device is iCloud locked, a great way is to change its activation path using the DNS method and send it from the original Apple server to iCloud Bypass DNS server for authentication.

Believe it or not, bypassing Apple’s iCloud DNS isn’t as complicated as it sounds.

You can change the IP server path in the device’s WIFI settings, even if the activation screen is popped up and you are not able to use the device. There is an option for you to enter the manual WIFI setting and change the DNS address.

Once it is DNS activated, you will be able to use several apps, surf the internet, play games, use the camera, and more on your iOS device.

1.1 The Limitation of iCloud DNS Bypass

From my research & test, bypassing iCloud with DNS is not perfect.

  • There is no assurance that it will always work to unlock your device.
  • DNS activated doesn’t allow you to access all the features of an iOS device. You will have access to limited features.
  • It doesn’t work for all versions of iOS devices. It may prove effective for iOS 8 to iOS 11 devices, and may not function for other versions.
  • iCloud DNS Bypass is just a hack to use your Apple device and not a complete unlock. For a complete iCloud unlock, try iCloud IMEI Unlock service.
