Secure Transport: Google Public DNS over TLS

December 26, 2019 By Syeda Samia Leave a Comment

Setting Up Google Public DNS over TLS on Android Phones: Google launched a unique feature in Android 9.0 Pie called the DNS over TLS. This feature can be found under the Private DNS option in network settings from Android 9. Using this feature you can connect to a private DNS provider or service on your Android device without root or using a VPN. After introducing DNS over the TLS feature, companies like Cloudflare and Adguard announced the support for Private DNS for Android users. But now it’s the time for the highly expected Google DNS feature for Android phones that goes by the IP address 8.8.8.8.

While browsing the internet a client, you request the server and waits for the response. Then the server responds against your request to the client accordingly. So depending on different factors like internet connection, client and server location, TTFB, etc. it may take some time to maintain the connection. Generally, Google DNS reduces the response time, thus making the browsing experience faster.

Cloudflare, as a private company, was the first company that launch support for DNS over TLS for Android phones. Its focal point is the privacy and security of the user. So you can try visiting it once you allow the Cloudflare DNS over the TLS feature and see the difference yourself.

Moreover, last month, Adguard also launched the DNS-over-TLS feature. So if you are running Android 9.0 Pie on your smartphone, then you can simply allow native Ad Blocking without even rooting your device. Adguard is a popular Ad-blocking software available for different platforms including Windows, Android, Linux, and much more.
