The article explains the fundamental role of the Domain Name System (DNS) in network communication, highlighting that DNS queries convert human-readable domain names into IP addresses. It notes the security concern with standard DNS as it transmits queries in plain text, making them vulnerable on public networks. To address this, the article promotes the use of Private DNS Mode, which encrypts DNS queries, offering greater privacy. Instructions are provided on enabling Private DNS on Android devices, emphasizing its importance for safeguarding online privacy.
Nearly everything you do on your desktop, laptop, phone, and tablet begins with a Domain Name System (DNS) query, which turns domain names into usable IP addresses.
The problem is that standard DNS isn't encrypted, meaning all your queries are sent over the network as plain text, making them vulnerable.
Private DNS Mode encrypts all your DNS queries, ensuring that even if someone captures the packets, they won't be able to read the requests.
Enabling Private DNS Mode is simple and essential for anyone who values privacy and security while using public networks.
