Android 9 and later includes the Private DNS feature, which allows you to connect to DNS servers using DNS over TLS (DoT). It is important to note, that the private DNS function does not work if the Quad9 Connect app is installed and enabled. To configure your Android device to use Quad9 in this way, follow the steps below.
