Public DNS-over-TLS (DoT) resolver hostnames

DNS-over-TLS (RFC 7858) sends DNS inside a TLS connection on port 853. Android's Private DNS setting takes one of these hostnames. Operators document 37 DoT hostnames; 36 completed a TLS handshake with a valid certificate for that name and answered a query on 2026-09-24.

Questions

Common questions

What should I enter for Android Private DNS?

A DoT hostname, not an IP address or URL. For example Cloudflare documents one.one.one.one, Google dns.google and Quad9 dns.quad9.net.

What is the difference between DoT and DoH?

Both encrypt DNS. DoT uses its own port, 853, which a network can easily recognise and block. DoH travels over HTTPS on port 443 alongside normal web traffic.
