Yup that works, thank you! I've seen one.one.one.one suggested before and thought they were saying 1.1.1.1 how people will type Google(dot)com lol never occurred to me they meant to actually type in the words. DNS.google.com works too.
Huge thanks my friend!
This works because private DNS (in Android speak) is actually DNS over TLS.
TLS is the secure communication method that also protects you when you visit https sites.
DNS over TLS means your DNS traffic (queries and answers for internet server names) are sent and received between you and the DNS server using encryption.
This provides a measure of privacy as it means network operators along the way (eg. your ISP) can't see the DNS queries you're making.
Using Cloudflare's server (one.one.one.one) is arguably more private than Google, as Cloudflare doesn't make money from your data like Google does.
