• ‘ZDNET Recommends’: What exactly does it mean? • ZDNET’s recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. • We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. • And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. • When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. • This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay.
Article Summaries:
- ZDNET’s latest guide explains how to enable Private DNS on iPhone, a feature that encrypts DNS queries to protect users from tracking, phishing, and malware-especially on public Wi‑Fi. The article outlines the steps: open Wi‑Fi settings, tap the “i” next to the connected network, select “Configure DNS,” switch to “Manual,” delete existing servers, and add a preferred DNS address such as Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1, Google’s 8.8.8.8, or Quad9’s 9.9.9.9. ZDNET stresses that private DNS can be faster than an ISP’s default and keeps browsing activity hidden from network operators. The piece is part of the site’s broader effort to provide unbiased, research‑based tech advice.
