Are you a Bouygues Telecom subscriber looking to better secure your internet connection? Installing DNS4EU on your Bbox is a simple and effective solution to strengthen both the privacy and security of your online activity. At Ariovis, experts in cybersecurity and access management (IAM), we’ll show you how to easily configure DNS4EU on your Bbox.
Why configure DNS4EU on your Bbox ?
DNS servers translate domain names (like ariovis.fr) into IP addresses. By default, the Bbox uses Bouygues Telecom’s DNS servers, which may not provide optimal privacy.
DNS4EU is a European DNS service supported by the European Commission, designed to ensure :
- Better protection of personal data
- Secure internet browsing
- A reliable and high-performance European infrastructure
By configuring DNS4EU on your Bbox, you gain stronger daily cybersecurity.

1. Log in to your Bbox interface
- Make sure you're connected to your Bouygues Telecom network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
- Open a browser and go to:
http://192.168.1.254
- Log in with your credentials. By default, the username is often admin, and the password is located on a label underneath your Bbox.
Access the DNS settings
