What is DNS over HTTPS (DoH)? Every time you type a website address (like medium.com) into your browser, your computer uses a Domain Name System (DNS) to look up that website's numeric IP address.
Traditionally, these requests are sent in plain text, meaning anyone on your local network (or your Internet Service Provider) can see what you are visiting. Furthermore, standard DNS doesn't filter anything out. DNS over HTTPS (DoH) changes this by doing two things:
It encrypts your DNS requests so they cannot be snooped on or tampered with. It allows you to route your requests through specialized, secure DNS providers that automatically block known adult, phishing, and malware domains before they ever load.
