RAX70 - Where can I enable DNS over HTTPS (DoH) feature?

Hi, I am a new joiner to Netgear.

 

As I know there are a new RAX70 Firmware Version 1.0.11.112 released today,

and added a new feature: Supports DNS over HTTPS (DoH).

 

Could I know how to enable this feature? thanks.

I have install AdGuard Home as my DNS Server now as alternative.

However, I have also opened a support case with below reply for your reference.

Upon consulting the case, please be informed that there is no option in the GUI to enable/disable this feature. In general, this protocol will increase user privacy. For more information, please refer to the link below.

Is there anything seen under the Advanced Tab/Setup/Internet or WAN settings?

Sonething that you'll need to let NG know about. This would be a new feature that most router mfrs would need to consider adding. 

Something you can post about here:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home

DoH is still in it's infancy and still is being proven so it may be more time before everyone is on board with it. 

 

Also uses can find browsers that have this feature as well. I know Opera has it. This maybe something that browser are directed to have rather than routers. 

 

Good Luck.

DNS over HTTPS
Web browsers, look in privacy/security.

On android,
First, go to Settings->Network & Internet->Advanced. In there, you will see an option for Private DNS, which should be Off by default. Switch it from Off to "Private DNS provider hostname" and specify the DNS provider you want to use.

Example,
doh.opendns.com
1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com

Test DoH,
