Question:

How do we check if the DoH is enable on Windows?

Answer:

To check if DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is enabled on Windows, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Command Prompt by searching for "cmd" in the Windows search bar and selecting the Command Prompt app.
  2. In the Command Prompt window, type the CLI netsh dns show global, and press Enter.
  3. Look for the line that says "DNS over HTTPS (DoH) setting" and check its value.

If it says "enabled," then DNS over HTTPS is enabled on your Windows system.

If it says "disabled" or another value, then it is not enabled .

We also can turn it on by CLI netsh dns set global doh=yes
