I can find a guide to set DoH up in Windows, but Windows expects IP addresses for DNS servers and you provide only URLs. Is there a way, I can use this in Windows, if yes, how? Thanks.

You can use it in Windows 10 with a great open source firewall such as Portmaster:

https://github.com/safing/portmaster

In there you set it up as two additional secure DNS servers as:

dot://dns.digitale-gesellschaft.ch
doh://dns.digitale-gesellschaft.ch/dns-query

With Portmaster, it's actually quite easy to use it in Windows and you'll also have removed any adware in advance and you can swich it on or off.

It seems that Windows has native support for DoH as described in https://www.howtogeek.com/765940/how-to-enable-dns-over-https-on-windows-11/

You can specify this IP v4/v6:

  • 185.95.218.42 / 2a05:fc84::42
  • 185.95.218.43 / 2a05:fc84::43

If this works for you, you might consider creating a new how-to for configuring DoH for Windows: https://github.com/DigitaleGesellschaft/DNS-Resolver/tree/main/howtos/os 🙂

Thanks so much for the replies. I'm still using the (superior) Windows 10, which doesn't offer those options. But I'll revisit this, if I change to Windows 11 and I'll have a look at Portmaster.
