When using the windows command ipconfig /all, the result will show a PPP adapter followed by a long name closed with braces. It looks like the below image:

When I try to set the DNS of my PPP adapter, I encounter this problem:

netsh interface ip set dns "PPP adapter {1C43A7B0-1173-40E2-96D6-1DA6457786B0}" static 208.67.222.222
Invalid interface PPP adapter {1C43A7B0-1173-40E2-96D6-1DA6457786B0} specified.

I have also used the pure string "{1C43A7B0-1173-40E2-96D6-1DA6457786B0}", but with the same result.

How can I reference this PPP adapter, so that I can change its configured DNS and other settings?

What does this long string mean?

I do not have this PPP adapter connection on my "show all connections" panel, because I have a VPN app - when running it, this PPP adapter will be automatically created for me.
