Easy way to toggle dns to auto for public WiFi networks
I normally set my windows 10 dns to Google's public dns. This works great except for public WiFi access with captive portals where I need to manually find my wifi adapter's TCP IP properties and change the DNS settings to auto.
But then I need to remember to return them to Google dns etc.
Is there a faster way to do this? Maybe an app or script that allows me to just double click something to do the necessary toggling?
Any thoughts?

The command line to change the DNS servers for a Windows machine is something:
netsh int ip set dns name = "Local Area Connection" source = static addr = x.x.x.x
You can prepare two batch files as you need.
