Public WiFi networks are a normal part of life, but that doesn't mean we need to accept privacy violations, too.

That's why Android's private DNS mode is important. In case you don't know, DNS (or Domain Name System) is the system that links domain names to IP addresses. In other words, it turns those words you type into your address bar into a viable internet destination. Without it, you'd be typing in random bursts of numbers to visit websites. It's great.

But nothing is perfect. By default, DNS queries aren't encrypted, so someone using the same network as you could theoretically figure out how to see what you're doing online. Nobody wants that, so if you're an Android user, here's how you can prevent it.
