# Custom DNS Servers

Administrators can use the **Docker Run Config** {doc}`Workspace Setting</guide/workspaces>` or {doc}`Group Setting</guide/groups>`
to specify custom DNS servers that are used by the Kasm sessions.

```json
{
  "dns": [
    "208.67.220.220",
    "208.67.222.222"
  ]
}
```

The following instructions demonstrate how to configure custom DNS servers using the **Docker Run Config** {doc}`Workspace Setting</guide/workspaces>`

1. Log into the Kasm UI as an administrator.

2. Select **Workspaces** -> **Workspaces**

3. Select **Edit** (Pencil) next to the desired Workspace from the arrow menu.

4. Specify the DNS Server in **Docker Run Config**

```

5. Select Save

New sessions created with this Workspace will utilize the specified DNS servers for resolution.
