If you’ve been bouncing between revival servers you know the routine. Network Settings, custom setup, punch in the DNS, test the connection, then do it all over again for the next game. Two devs got fed up with that too, and both of their fixes just went up in the store.

qDNSm 1.1 by Tha_14
This one is a plugin, so it lives right on the XMB next to webMAN. It comes with a list of revival DNS servers already in it, you pick one and it switches, no wizard. You can add your own servers, edit or remove them, and there’s a restore option that puts your original network settings back. Install the PKG, run the qDNSm installer once from the XMB and let it reboot, then you can delete the installer. Works on CFW and HEN.

One thing to know: a lot of games look up the DNS before you even go online, so switching only works from the XMB. Quit the game, swap the server, start the game again. Tha_14 actually started this back in 2022, shelved it when the PS3 wouldn’t reload its network settings cleanly, and came back to finish it after people kept asking about it.

Heads up if you’re on HEN with webMAN MOD: one person has had trouble getting HEN to enable after installing it. 1.1 has some safeguards for it, but if it happens to you, add what you’re running to the issue on GitHub so it can get tracked down.

ezDNS 1.02 by _tbwcjw
Same problem, different take. ezDNS is a little app that shows up under Network on the XMB. You save a DNS profile for each game or revival project and flip between them in a couple of button presses. 1.02 is just bug fixes. If you’ve got an older version on there, delete it first (Network > ezDNS, press Triangle, Delete) and then install the new one. The setup guide is on the ezDNS wiki.

Want it in the XMB menu? qDNSm. Rather have an app that keeps your profiles sorted? ezDNS. They’re both open source under MIT, so try both and see which one sticks.

Grab them from the Brewology Store: qDNSm and ezDNS.
