   Re: Christmas party: iOS has a public AP

   UPDATE.   
   *Android does encrypted DNS as does iOS*   
      
   Earlier this week, I had sent another email to the Silicon Valley executive   
   who had told me that there was at least one public API on iOS that wasn't   
   on Android, which is significant since nobody on this newsgroup or on the4   
   Internet has _ever_ been able to find any functionality on iOS that isn't   
   ALREADY on Android (and worse, everyone on this newsgroup can list a score   
   of functionality on Android that is decidedly not on iOS such as something   
   as simple as graphing Wifi signal strength over time or automatic call   
   recording, or torrenting, or loading any desired app launcher, etc.).   
      
   This recent email was related to this Cloudflare encrypted DNS thread:   
   o  Cloudflare releases Warp: Fixing Mobile Internet Performance and Security:   
   free VPN privacy   
      
      
   Here is his answer:   
      
      "On Android (now for example in P and Q) there is a user configurable   
   setting for encrypted DNS (Settings > Networking > Advanced > Private DNS)   
   where the user enters 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com.   
      
       On iOS, Cloudflare used a VPN that sets the DNS to 1.1.1.1. If you   
   install the iOS app. there is a big button to ´connect¡, and switching it   
   on will install a VPN Profile from Cloudflare."   
      
   I'm not sure if he's aware that the "big button" also exists on Android   
   based on my tests this week though.   
      
   iOS encrypted DNS, vs Android encrypted DNS:
