      IIRC that configuration field only sets unencrypted DNS servers. You’d have to follow their Linux CLI instructions to turn on DNS-over-TLS

      That’s the unencrypted DNS version. The adblocking will work but your queries won’t be encrypted. You’ll either have to configure it on your browser, or configure system-resolved like what is written in the article that was posted.

      Other options are Aha DNS and Control D.
