Encrypted DNS (private DNS)
In Turkish: Şifreli DNS (özel DNS)
A DNS setting that encrypts your site lookups so others on the network cannot read or change them. It does not hide the site from your DNS provider.
Normal DNS lookups travel as plain text. Encrypted DNS wraps them so a café network or an eavesdropper cannot read or tamper with them. Many phones and browsers have a setting for it.
It helps on untrusted networks, but you are trusting the DNS provider you pick instead. It is a small improvement, not a full privacy tool.
What to do
- Look for "Private DNS" in your phone's network settings.
- Pick a provider with a clear privacy policy.
- Do not treat it as a replacement for a VPN or for HTTPS.
