The article discusses the crucial role Domain Name System (DNS) plays in internet navigation by converting domain names into IP addresses. However, standard DNS is not encrypted, posing privacy risks on public networks. The introduction of Private DNS Mode helps mitigate these risks by encrypting DNS queries, safeguarding user information from potential interceptors. For Android users, particularly on version 11 or newer, enabling Private DNS Mode requires the installation of the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 + WARP application, which simplifies the encryption process and enhances internet security for users.
Essentially, DNS turns domain names (such as ZDNET.com) into an IP address so web browsers and apps know where to get the information you want.
All of your DNS queries are encrypted, so bad actors won't be able to view them -- even if they capture those packets.
Private DNS Mode should be an absolute must for anyone who values their privacy and security.
You have to install an application created by Cloudflare, called 1.1.1.1 + WARP, to enable Private DNS mode on Android version 11 or newer.
