Yes, Firefox does have a Group Policy setting to disable Secure DNS (DNS over HTTPS, or DoH). The policy is called "DNSOverHTTPS" and setting it to "disabled" will turn off Secure DNS. Please refer to the official Firefox documentation or your system administrator for detailed instructions on how to implement this setting.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but as an AI, I don't have the capability to provide direct links. However, you can easily find the official Firefox Group Policy documentation by searching "Firefox enterprise documentation" or "Firefox Group Policy" in your web browser. The official Mozilla website should be among the top results.
I enabled the following DNS Over HTTPS Group Policy for Firefox on Windows 11 Pro.
No, if you have disabled the Fallback policy, Firefox will not revert to any other DNS resolver, including its built-in secure DNS resolvers, if the specified secure DNS provider fails. It will simply fail to resolve DNS queries, leading to connection issues.
It appears Cloudflare Zero Trust will replace their default certificate with a client-side unique certificate. You can generate and activate your unique Cloudflare certificate from your account. I use the Cloudflare Zero Trust DNS feature for parental control. I generated, activated, and installed the certificate on the system, but it's not working. Cloudflare is not displaying the blocking screen for blocked websites. Any info?
If you've followed all steps correctly and Cloudflare's blocking screen is not showing up for blocked websites, it could be due to a few reasons:
To make it work, I need to keep the default Cloudflare certificate on the system while also installing, activating, and setting the new Cloudflare unique client-side certificate as "in use" in my Cloudflare account. I've searched the Cloudflare forums and couldn't find any information regarding the new certificate. I will watch out for it on the forum.
That sounds like a good plan. Keeping an eye on the Cloudflare forums and reaching out to their support team directly if needed should help you resolve the issue. Remember, changes in DNS settings and certificates can sometimes take a while to propagate, so don't forget to check back after some time to see if your changes have taken effect.
This could be due to a few reasons:
Yes, your understanding is correct. When you set a private DNS with a custom provider on Android, it doesn't automatically fallback to a different DNS provider if there are connectivity issues. If the specified provider is unavailable, you may experience problems connecting to the internet.
Resetting network settings can sometimes help resolve issues related to DNS, as it brings all network settings, including WiFi, cellular data, and VPN configurations, back to their default state. However, remember that you'll need to reconfigure these settings after the reset. If the problem persists, the issue might be with the DNS provider itself.
If the DoT DNS is working well on other phones, then the issue might be specific to the Android 14 phone you mentioned. It could be due to its network settings, a software bug, or some other device-specific issue. Resetting network settings or updating the device's software might help. If not, consider reaching out to the device's manufacturer for support.
