DNS settings via a portable program?

Following situation:

At school, we can access the Internet through school PCs. Recently, however, the blacklist for websites has been updated and many normal sites are being blocked, including forums. The same applies if I log into my school laptop with my own laptop. Since I have now set the DNS address to 1.1.1.1 and all pages are free again. On the school PCs I can't change the settings, because I have no admin rights, and also I can't install apps. (By the way, the operating system is Linux). Now my guess is that I can run Portable Programs. Does anyone know such a program, with which one can change the DNS server? Or also like an alternative solution to my problem?

Thanks, but the operating system is Linux, and the program is for Windows & Mac.

So I can change the DNS server under Ubuntu without sudo or root rights.

To do this I go to the taskbar on the network connections and "Edit connections", then on IPv4 / IPv6 settings and there on "Additional DNS server".

You could change the DNS server still dnsmasq config files or through the resolv.conf, but that would require root rights.

Theoretically, that would work, but the option is unfortunately reserved for admins, and I'm not an admin.

If there was such a thing, then that would be really bad, because without:

Of course this is not possible!

You will have to contact the admin of the school server to clarify what he can do for you.
