In reality, the DNS system is more complicated, but this is enough to get a basic understanding. The resolver converts the domain name into an IP address and sends it back. For that purpose, it sends a special DNS request to a DNS resolver. , that's easy for you to remember but makes no sense to computer) with an IP address that computers actually use.

One of the biggest challenges has always been not just providing good protection, but doing it for everyone, no matter where the person is and what device do they use. I am not sure this is related, but I have noticed that Huawei seems to be using (followed by something more) rather than, but I do not think this is an issue as I can resolve both correctly via at AdGuard put a lot of our effort into protecting people's privacy, and many AdGuard users value our products exactly for this reason. As soon as I disable private DNS, WiFi works again. What I mean by that is that WiFi stays connected apparently, but Android switches to mobile data nonetheless (I can see the letters LTE appearing over the mobile signal indicator, and speed tests/IP addresses reveal I am using mobile data). However, as soon as I switch private DNS to, WiFi stops working. I observe some strange behavior with a Huawei P30 on a company (Guest) WiFi with a captive portal (that does not usually appear, just only once in a year or so).Įssentially, I can connect to the WiFi without private DNS, and I can connect to the WiFi with private DNS via.
