Deep Dive
A new guide details how to enable private DNS on an iPhone, a critical security step for public Wi-Fi. Unencrypted DNS can expose your browsing activity to network owners at places like hotels and airports. Private DNS encrypts these requests, hiding your activity from your internet provider and offering protection against tracking, phishing, and malware. The setup involves changing your Wi-Fi network's DNS configuration to a manual setting using a private DNS provider.
Why It Matters
It's a free, one-time change that significantly boosts your privacy and security on any network.
