I'm not very good at figuring out this computer internet stuff, but if you would be so kind as to walk me thru the process of enabling DNS over https on my tablet, then I would owe you one. Deal, thanks.

Hi Sarge

I hope I can help but please appreciate that this is a more complex solution than we would normally provide. This is what has worked for me:

In the address bar, type:

about:config

In the search field, search for:

network.trr.bootstrapaddress

Select the empty field under the title and enter:

1.1.1.1

Now search again for:

network.trr.mode

Change the mode to 2 (if you want a non DoH route taking if DoH is not available) or 3 (if you want DoH set regardless).

Please appreciate that this is not commonly set for mobile and, unlike desktop, we do not have a nice menu option available to set this up. Please use at your own risk, DoH is not yet fully implemented or tested on mobile.
