- jeroenhd 7y agoIt's more than that, private DNS is not just a different DNS server, it's a DNS over TLS (DoT) server. This means encrypting the lookups to prevent the ISP from tracking the host names you visit. Many DNS servers don't support DoT and some support DoH (DNS over HTTPS) instead.
- tuananh 7y ago> Private DNS allows you to set the DNS server the phone should use instead of your ISP's. iOS does support that.
- clairity 7y agothey recommend leaving it on because then all your dns queries go to google and no one else by default--their "private dns" defaults to the very unprivate google dns servers.
