Tutorial [FIX] Online Games Not Connecting in MEmu (DNS Problem)

[skillerm]

If your game can log in but fails to connect to the server, shows network errors, or loads the server list but not the game, the issue is most likely caused by MEmu’s internal DNS configuration.

This is a known bug in MEmu 8.x and 9.x where the emulator automatically injects a Chinese DNS (202.102.224.68), which breaks UDP/TCP socket connections used by many online games.

Problem :​

• Browser and login pages work fine (HTTPS/HTTP OK)
• Game cannot connect to server or times out
• Inside Android network settings, you see this:
  
  172.23.0.1
  192.168.1.1
  202.102.224.68

That last DNS (202.102.224.68) is automatically added by MEmu’s network driver (MEmuNet) and causes socket traffic to fail.

1. Change DNS in MEmu Settings​

1. Open Multi-MEmu (the Instance Manager).
2. Select your instance → click the gear icon (Settings).
3. Go to Network tab.
4. Manually set:

DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 1.1.1.1

1. Click OK and restart the emulator.

2. Disable Private DNS in Android Settings​

Inside the emulator:

1. Open Android Settings → Network & Internet → Private DNS.
2. Set it to Off.
3. Restart the emulator once more.

This prevents Android’s DNS-over-TLS from conflicting with your custom DNS.

3. Use the “DNS Change” App (Optional but Recommended)​

To ensure the DNS stays fixed even if MEmu overwrites it:

1. Install DNS Change from APKPure or Google Play.
2. Open the app and set:
   DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
   DNS 2: 1.1.1.1
   • It creates a lightweight local VPN to override DNS system-wide.
3. Launch your game — it should now connect normally.
