I find it incredible and a big mistake that there is currently no option to configure a private DNS (encrypted DNS) through the KDE graphical interface. Do we have to report it here for it to be implemented? Currently, there is only an option to manually configure an unencrypted DNS... Please implement it graphically, for the security of the computers. Thank you, best regards.
So we can better understand what you would like to see implemented, can you tell us the settings or software you're using for encrypted DNS? Are you talking about DNS-over-HTTPS, DNSCrypt, or something else? Thanks.

On Android, I use DNS-over-TLS (because it's native to the system), and on my PC, I use DNS-over-HTTPS in my browser because it's practically built-in. And on my previous operating system, I used dnscrypt... But anyway, I think it would be good to support TLS and HTTPS natively through the interface because they are the most well-known and are usually offered in both protocols. But anyway, I think it would be good to support TLS and HTTPS natively through the graphical interface because they are the best known and configuration is usually offered in both protocols. Examples: https://controld.com/free-dns https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/encryption/ Personally, I would use HTTPS, but that's up to the end users to decide.
For this to be actionable, it needs to be a focused request, focused on KDE Plasma (not Android or other environments). KDE Plasma already provides a way to specify your DNS servers through Settings - Wi-Fi & Networking. For controld, this would be all that's needed. https://docs.controld.com/docs/deployment Software is Optional Most modern operating systems support Secure DNS protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS. This means that no software is required to be installed in order to use Control D. https://docs.controld.com/docs/supported-platforms This lists Linux Can you describe a configuration you would have to do manually that would be improved by a UI in Plasma?

Add the option to use a private DNS, DNS-over-HTTPS, or DNS-over-TLS via the GUI. Perhaps where the unencrypted DNS is currently entered, add the options to use a private DNS.!!

Yeah, add here a new option https://i.imgur.com/HkKQcUi.png Changue the actual "Input text", and do something similar to this. https://jsfiddle.net/jomocu/Leydg1fo/10/
Thanks for the mockups, I see what you're asking for. I'll pass this along to the developers to consider.
