Troubleshooting & notes

Cellular

Classic DNS settings only apply to Wi-Fi; use Private DNS for cellular.

Private DNS not visible?

The device probably does not support DoT – fall back to a third-party client.

Reconnect

After saving, disconnect from the network or restart the device for changes to take effect.
