What phone? Never had an issue with private DNS on Android. Unfortunately IOS requires it setup on every connection, but works.

Make sure you restart the app after applying settings, should pickup new DNS and poof, 95% of ads are gone instantly.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

It's on a Fairphone 3 on Android 13. On Wi-Fi Private DNS works perfectly, but as soon as I switch to 4G the internet connection don't work anymore. As soon as I reset the private DNS to default it works as intended again. That's seems to be a carrier issue.

Your carrier probably blocks the DNS. Use a VPN, Proton VPN is trustworthy and reputable and they have a free option.

Definitely sounds carrier related... Works fine for me on Android with TMO

Same, Pixel 8 Pro + GrapheneOS + NextDNS, stateside using AT&T, no problems with private DNS

I'm using Blokada. Would you consider Adguard to be better? And if so could you explain why? I'm not sure I see the difference.

[–] currawong@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

It should not. Some phones don't play well with private DNS though, mostly entry level ones that thrives on spying.
