My laptop always use Cloudflare DNS. How do I remove it?
I have tried using Cloudflare DNS in the past, but I have since reverted everything back to DHCP settings but it seems like this settings is stuck and my laptop still uses Cloudflare DNS. I don't have problem with the DNS but the problem will occur when I work out of office and connect to public Wi-Fi which requires authentication through its login page. The login page can't be opened because it is not resolvable through Cloudflare DNS.
I tried "Network reset" in Settings but I don't know what it did, even the known networks are still there. I thought it would forget all known networks as well.
Anyway, the IPv4 DNS server are correct (use that network's DNS), but the IPv6 DNS server will be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1.1.1.1
2606:4700:4700::1111
2606:4700:4700::1001
Below is the screenshot I took after connecting to my phone's hotspot.
I looked everywhere in Settings and Control Panel but couldn't find anything. Please suggest what I should do.
Thanks.

Pitawatn-MKV Thsi happens when you have ipv6 enabled on your network adapter. Disable it and try again.
- For home user, DHCP is more suitable than using a third-party DNS. Cloudflare is mostly used for protecting online websites.
- Run ncpa.cpl command.
Right click your adapter, select Properties.
Select IPv4, click Properties.
Next remove Cloudflare server and allow to obtain DNS automatically.
Repeat last two steps for IPv6.Hi, KapilArya ,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked those settings before and they were already set to obtain DNS server address automatically.
Is there other place I could check, or simple reset everything about networks? As I mentioned that I have tried "Network reset" as well and it didn't work.
Thanks.
I have tried all the options given already but i still cannot deactivate the cloudfare. it is a real problem because it is not allowing me the access savemyexams.com, for my teaching resources. please help ASAP.
