   I apologize for not being clear about the terms and goals.   
      
   The goal is privacy, and one item of privacy is an encrypted DNS lookup.   
   Windows will do that. But not really. Not well. And not easily.   
   Windows 11 does it slightly better than Windows 10. But both suck at it.   
      
   You must edit the registry. I've done it. It's a PITA on Windows.   
   I even wrote a tutorial how to do it so that others could also do it.

   But it's really hard to do, in my humble opinion, with native Windows.   
   That's _why_ we need a better solution.   
      
   If YogaDNS isn't that better solution, I'm fine with that being the answer.   
   But what is the better solution then?
