# Google Cloud

Google Cloud lets you configure custom DNS servers at the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network level using [outbound server policies ↗](https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/server-policies-overview#dns-server-policy-out) in Cloud DNS. When you create an outbound server policy, all resources in that VPC network — including existing virtual machines — use the specified DNS servers.

Note

If you are using [Cloudflare Zero Trust](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/), you can assign [locations](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/resolvers-and-proxies/dns/locations/) to apply custom [DNS policies](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/dns-policies/) via Gateway.

To configure 1.1.1.1 for your Google Cloud VPC network:

1. Open the [Google Cloud Console ↗](https://console.cloud.google.com).
2. Go to **Network Services** \> **Cloud DNS** and select [**DNS Server Policies** ↗](https://console.cloud.google.com/net-services/dns/policies).
3. Select **Create Policy**.
4. Enter a name for your policy (for example, `cloudflare-1-1-1-1`) and select the VPC networks to apply it to.
5. Under **Alternate DNS servers**, select **Add Item** and enter:  
```  
1.1.1.1  
1.0.0.1  
```
6. Select **Create**.

DNS requests within the configured VPC networks will now use 1.1.1.1.
