Your first step is to set up an Analytics account, unless you already have one. Skip to creating a property unless you want to create a separate account for this website and/or app. For example, you might want to create another account if this website and/or app belong(s) to a separate business.
When you add an app data stream, Analytics creates a corresponding Firebase project and app data stream, and automatically links the Firebase project to your property if your project and property are not already linked.
Many CMSs have native integrations with Google Analytics 4. If you're using one of the CMSs listed below, follow the instructions to find your Google tag ID and paste it into the Google Analytics field that your CMS provides.
After you have set up data collection, complete additional configurations to get more useful data out of Analytics. Review the checklist to learn which configurations are right for you to collect more data, filter unwanted data, and power advertising.

In most cases, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automaticallyconfigures your system to use the IP addresses of your ISP's domain nameservers. To use Google Public DNS, you need to explicitly change the DNSsettings in your operating system or device to use the Google Public DNS IPaddresses. The procedure for changing your DNS settings varies according tooperating system and version (Windows, Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS) or the device(computer, phone, or router). We give general procedures here that might notapply for your OS or device; consult your vendor documentation for authoritativeinformation.
Depending on your system you may also have the option of enabling a newprivacy-oriented feature called DNS-over-TLS. This feature provides privacyand security for the DNS messages sent between your device and Google's DNSservers. Details on configuring this optional feature are in specific sectionsfor each system.
Before you change your DNS settings to use Google Public DNS, be sure to writedown the current server addresses or settings on a piece of paper. It is veryimportant that you keep these numbers for backup purposes, in case you need torevert to them at any time.
You can configure Google Public DNS addresses for either IPv4 or IPv6connections, or both. For IPv6-only networks with a NAT64 gateway using the64:ff9b::/96 prefix, you can use Google Public DNS64 instead of GooglePublic DNS IPv6 addresses, providing connectivity to IPv4-only services withoutany other configuration.
Because the instructions differ between different versions/releases of eachoperating system, we only give one version as an example. If you need specificinstructions for your operating system/version, please consult your vendor'sdocumentation. You may also find answers on our user group page.
Many systems let you to specify multiple DNS servers, to be contacted inpriority order. In the following instructions, we provide steps to specify onlythe Google Public DNS servers as the primary and secondary servers, to ensurethat your setup correctly uses Google Public DNS in all cases.
Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IPaddresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNSserver, write them down for future reference.
For more information see the Android blog post announcing the feature.Please note that in Android P, the default mode for Private DNS is "Automatic"which means it uses the network specified DNS server and it attempts a TLSconnection to port 853 before falling back to UDP on port 53.
Devices running versions older than Android 9 do not support DNS-over-TLS andcannot configure private DNS for all networks. You can configure DNS for eachindividual Wi-Fi network you use. This requires configuring all networkinformation manually and is only recommended for advanced users.
DNS servers are typically specified under advanced Wi-Fi settings. However, asevery mobile device uses a different user interface for configuring DNS serversettings, we provide only the generic procedure. For more information,please consult your mobile provider's documentation.
From your browser, enter a hostname URL (such as ). If it resolvescorrectly, quit the browser, load the page again and refresh it for severaltimes to make sure the result is not from a cached web page.
If this works correctly, reload the page with a new opened browser to makesure the page is loaded from scratch. If these tests work (but step 1fails), then there is a problem with your DNS configuration; check the stepsabove to make sure you have configured everything correctly. If these testsdo not work, go to the next step.
If you had not previously configured any customized DNS servers, to switch backto your old settings, in the window in which you specified the Google IPaddresses, select the option to enable obtaining DNS server addressesautomatically, and/or delete the Google IP addresses. This reverts your settingsto using your ISP's default servers.
