For Android (Version - +9)

Important

Android version 9 and before doesn't support Private DNS Setting and that's why those version cannot be configured by this. And Android usese TLS protocol

1. Copy the TLS Protocol Section from your dashboard
2. Go to Private DNS in your settings (or search for it)
3. Paste the command in the Custom Section
   • Eg. abc23.dns.nextdns.io
4. Just add the device name like Oppo-abc23.dns.nextdns.io
   • Prepend the name to the provided domain (the name should only contain a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and -). Use -- for spaces.
   • For "John Router", you would use John--Router-abc23.dns.nextdns.io as your DNS-over-TLS endpoint.
