    I can’t speak to Android but all of those require running some DNS recursive resolver locally then pointing the OS resolver to it. While I do that already, it doesn’t really address the issue I’m getting at: the OS doesn’t natively support it.

    On macOS/iOS I use a .mobileconfig file to point to my Dockerized DNS over TLS resolver in the cloud and it works great, but why do I need to do that rather than use the “normal” DNS preferences? Command line tools still revert to the DHCP DNS server so on macOS I run unbound to take care of that.

    For Linux, I’m mainly running a Raspberry Pi on Alpine Linux with unbound as well; it works great for DHCP clients that get pointed to it but (especially if this were some company LAN) all the DNS queries are still going over the LAN unencrypted.
