While it's generally safe to share your unique Cloudflare Gateway DoH address with someone you trust, it's still recommended to maintain caution. Even though you can delete the DoH from your account, if it falls into the wrong hands before deletion, it could potentially be misused. Always prioritize your online security.

Is it safe to share your unique Cloudflare Gateway DoH address with someone trusted, especially when you can delete the unique DoH from your account?
Pros: Anyone you share it with can enjoy the same benefits you do.

Cons: Anyone you share it with will be able to see all the websites you visit through DNS resolution, a pretty serious privacy concern regarding your browsing history.

How is it possible to perform that action using a DoH address with no account credentials?

You asked about adding users to your account. You need to look into editing or revoking access to that addition. This is for privacy and security purposes should that addition become compromised.
My post wasn't clear enough, it seems. I meant I have the option to remove the unique DoH from my account.

No, Android Private DNS cannot override Google Family Link's search and website filtering settings. Google Family Link has its own set of controls that are independent of DNS settings.

Yes, a private DNS with parental control can work alongside Google Family Link settings. However, they operate independently. Google Family Link controls are not affected by changes to DNS settings. Always ensure to configure both correctly for optimal results.

Is it possible to lock the private DNS to prevent any changes?

No, Android does not currently provide a native feature to lock or prevent changes to private DNS settings. This would require a third-party app or a device management solution. Always ensure to use trusted sources for such apps or solutions.

Yes, you can enforce DNS settings via Group Policy in Windows. For browsers like Chrome and Edge, you can use their enterprise policy templates to enforce specific DNS settings. However, these methods require administrative access and are typically used in a business or enterprise environment.

To enforce specific DNS settings via Group Policy for browsers like Chrome and Edge, follow these steps:

1. Download the policy templates for Chrome or Edge from their respective official websites.

2. Extract the files and copy them to the Policy Definitions folder (usually located at C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions).

3. Open the Group Policy Editor by typing "gpedit.msc" into the Run dialog (Win + R).

4. Navigate to "Computer Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Google" or "Microsoft Edge" depending on the browser.

5. Look for policies related to DNS, such as "DNSOverHttpsMode" or "DNSOverHttpsTemplates". Double-click the policy and set it to "Enabled", then configure as needed.

6. Click "Apply" then "OK".

Remember, these steps require administrative access and should be performed carefully. Misconfiguration can lead to network issues. Always back up your system before making significant changes.
