Secure DNS

Traditionally, DNS queries are sent in plaintext. Anyone listening on the Internet can see which websites you are connecting to.

To ensure your DNS queries remain private, you should use a resolver that supports secure DNS transport such as DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT).

The fast, free, privacy focused 1.1.1.1 resolver supports DNS over TLS (DoT), which you can configure by using a client that supports it. For a list of these take a look here. DNS over HTTPS can be configured in Firefox today using these instructions. Both will ensure your DNS queries remain private.
