The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.
To navigate to a website, the browser needs to look up the network address (e.g. 93.184.216.34) for the host name (e.g. example.com) that’s used in the website’s URL. Secure DNS (DNS over HTTPS (DoH)) performs this lookup using a service over an HTTPS connection to the DNS service provider, thus protecting the lookups from modification or eavesdropping by attackers on the network.
By default, Microsoft Edge uses your current secure DNS provider. Microsoft Edge also offers alternate secure DNS providers to use.
This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off secure DNS in Microsoft Edge for your account or all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
AÂ DNS (Domain Name System)Â server is the service that makes it possible for you to open a web browser, type a domain name and load your favorite websites.
DNS over HTTPSÂ (DoH) is a protocol for performing remote Domain Name System resolution via the HTTPS protocol. A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver.
This tutorial will show you how to enable DNS over HTTPS (DoH) in Windows 11.
When you type a web address or domain name into your address bar (example: www.tenforums.com), your browser sends a request over the Internet to look up the IP address for that website.
Traditionally, this request is sent to servers over a plain text connection. This connection is not encrypted, making it easy for third-parties to see what website you’re about to access.
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) works differently. It sends the domain name you typed to a DoH-compatible DNS server using an encrypted HTTPS connection instead of a plain text one. This prevents third-parties from seeing what websites you are trying to access.

Encryption by itself does not protect privacy, encryption is simply a method to obfuscate the data. As of March 2018, Google and the Mozilla Foundation started testing versions of DNS over HTTPS.
If wanted, you can enable the Secure DNS lookups flag for an experimental feature in Microsoft Edge to enable DNS over HTTPS. When this feature is enabled, your browser may try to use a secure HTTPS connection to look up the addresses of websites and other web resources.
When enabled, Microsoft Edge will use Google DNS servers for the secure resolver protocol.

Starting with Google Chrome 78, you can enable DNS-over-HTTPS via a new Secure DNS lookups command line flag.
