I wasted almost an hour trying unsuccessfully to book a cab using Uber yesterday only to realise it was 1.1.1.1 in my Private DNS which was the problem.

I had internet access just fine (browsers) but Signal, Google Maps, Uber and Ola just wouldn't work with 1.1.1.1. Haven't gotten around to think about the reason

The feature is not stable yet in this new release. Also some queries leak when your device wakes from sleep. More details here https://ba.net/adblockvpn/dnsovertls

1.1.1.1 has issues with archive sites, had to stop using it. Cloudflare blamed the archive sites, but it works with other dns services, so I just stopped using 1.1.1.1.

Interestingly at work, I found out we couldnt even route to 1.1.1.1, but gave something to the network team to work on.

I too, jumped on the 1.1.1.1 bandwagon when lanched.

instead of 1.1.1.1 use 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com

Wait, how are you supposed to use a host name as a DNS server?

We heard you like to resolve domain names into IP addresses so we put your DNS provider behind an A record.

This way you can resolve while you resolve.

DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS require URLs. Controversial features in that they break abstractions apart from breaking some apps too (for instance, usage of TCP, overhead of TLS/SSL handshakes, absuing HTTP etc)

Me too.. Waze wasn't working and Spotify was taking ages to decide it wasn't offline. On EE in the UK if that helps?

I use DNS66 and I have to pause it any time I use a app that involves Google.

In DNS66, in the apps tab, you can bypass the VPN by app.

I think I tried this and had mixed results though.

For me I only had twitter glitching at one point, but it doesn't now

Thats cloudflare not adguard. I'm surprised about your problem

Do you have similar issues with 1.0.0.1? It seems safer for me.

The solution I follow on all my Android devices is the "NoRoot Firewall", free, no ads. I use it either to block IPs/addresses I "don't like" or global block sites/IPs like Google analytics, Facebook etc.

Can you customise the blacklist?

I found that video ad providers weren't in the usual lists...

Except that my Pixel 2 restarts every few hours if I set that up.

Same here with two OnePlus phones running Pie.

But an official fix is incoming. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122141885#comment14

how good is the dns? in term of speed and privacy. PS: all the dns are resolved via that dns or it's added (piled) to the list of default dns resolvers?

You'll have to make your device use the server, so I think you'll at least have to add it to the front of the list.

This is definitely simpler, thank you.
