DNS over HTTPS is a networking protocol designed to encrypt Domain Name System (DNS) queries using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) protocol. The main purpose of DoH is to protect these queries to increase user privacy and security by stopping malicious individuals from viewing and manipulating DNS traffic originating from your computer to prevent things like man-in-the-middle attacks. Web browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox already support this additional layer of security, but now, Windows 11 now supports DoH natively, and you can configure it in the Settings app. This guide will teach you the steps to enable DNS over HTTPS on Windows 11 to make your online experience a little more private.
