One of the reasons for me to choose /e/ OS back in December 2019 was the possibility to easily change the Android default DNS to one of my choice. The feature is still there and advertised in the product description as follows:
DNS default servers are not Google anymore, and their settings can be enforced by the user to a specific server
Not many Android custom roms allowed this possibility at the time.
However, more recent versions of Android (or at least Lineage OS and related forks) do now allow to set a “Private DNS”.
So, now I am confused about the following:
- Assuming the two settings actually carry out different functions (e.g. one applies to mobile data, the other to wi-fi networks) which DNS setting is used for what type of network connection;
- Assuming both setting do carry out exactly the same function (i.e set DNS for both mobile netowrks and wi-fi), which one of the two settings prevails when both are configured.
