iCloud lock, also known as activation lock, is a security feature created by Apple for iOS devices. When the user enables the Find My iPhone, the feature starts immediately. If the device is lost, users can remotely lock the device through the iCloud activation lock. Even if other people attempt to reset the device, the correct Apple ID and password are required or they can not use it at all.

In addition, the iCloud activation lock also allows users to locate and remotely erase all data on their devices, protecting their privacy and security. But if you have a second-hand iPhone or have forgotten your password, you can choose to bypass iCloud Lock with DNS. So how can you do that specifically? Here we'll teach you how to apply a DNS server for iCloud bypass step-by-step and what you can do if DNS doesn't work. Let's explore further information next.

Part 1. What Is Lost Mode on iPhone?

We believe most of you know the DNS is from a port where DNS is mentioned as one method. However, some users may be unfamiliar with such a technical term. So we'll introduce this term to you first in this part.

What Is iCloud DNS Bypass?

The full name of DNS is Domain Name System, a service of the Internet that enables people to access the Internet more easily.

The main function of DNS is to convert domain names into IP addresses. Each device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address.

When to Use DNS Server for iCloud Bypass?

Using DNS for iCloud Bypass is suitable for users to unlock a second-hand iPhone locked by the previous owner. It allows users to bypass iCloud Lock by altering the device's DNS settings, enabling the device to function properly. This method doesn't require the original Apple ID and password nor contact Apple support to unlock. DNS is a viable option for users who cannot unlock through official channels.

What Are Cons and Pros of Using iCloud DNS Bypass?

Pros of iCloud DNS Bypass

Although this technological approach is indeed effective, there are certain risks and limitations associated with it.

1.Device restraints. This method may not be workable for all versions of the iPhone. Especially for newer device versions, this method may no longer be effective. In many iPhones updated to the latest version, the system may take some security measures to block this vulnerability.

2. Functional limitations. After bypassing the iCloud activation lock, users can only be allowed to use the device through Wi-Fi and cannot access all applications and features.

3. Security risks. Using this method may involve some security risks, as replacing the DNS server to bypass activation locks may not be an officially recommended method.

Part 2. How to Bypass Activation Lock Using DNS [Video Demo]

During the activation process of an iPhone, it is usually necessary to verify the legitimacy of the device by verifying Apple's servers. However, by changing the device's DNS settings, requests that were originally directed to Apple servers can be redirected to other servers. This potentially bypasses the normal activation verification. Here's a simple guide for you.

Step 1. Turn on your iPhone, then choose your country and language on the screen.

Step 2. Press on Continue to the Wi-Fi settings page.

Step 3. Then find and tap on the "i" icon beside the Wi-Fi you choose.

( If you have connected the Wi-Fi, touch on Forget this Network to disconnect your iPhone from the network.)

Step 4. Next, you should enter a DNS server IP address like this:

• Asia: 104.155.28.90
• USA: 104.154.51.7
• Europe: 104.155.28.90
• South America: 35.199.88.219
• Australia and Oceania: 35.189.47.23
• Other Countries: 78.100.17.60

Step 5. Now, enable Wi-Fi and choose a network you like from the Wi-Fi list. Input the password to connect to that network.

Step 6. Tap on Back, and you'll find the iPhone entering into the iCloud Bypass page.

Step 7. Scroll down and click on Activation help, and you can use your iPhone now.

This method typically involves using a backup DNS server for authentication instead of directly connecting to Apple's primary server. The goal of bypassing the activation lock can be achieved through DNS theoretically. In the following video, you'll learn more about iCloud DNS bypass on your iPhone.
