Also known as: Android Private DNS, DNS over TLS setting
Last updated August 9, 2026
Definition
Private DNS on Android can send DNS lookups over TLS to a chosen provider, making DNS queries harder for local networks to snoop or tamper with.
Real-World Example
Setting Private DNS to dns.google on Android encrypts most DNS lookups on public Wi‑Fi.
