To use encrypted DNS on macOS, you must install a configuration profile via System Settings.
Steps:
- Download and save the profile, ensuring it is renamed to
NAME.mobileconfig (do not use .txt or other extensions). - Open Apple Menu > System Settings.
- Click Privacy & Security in the sidebar, then click Profiles on the right (you may need to scroll down).
- Locate the profile in the Downloaded section.
- Double-click the profile, review the contents, and click Continue, Install, or Register to complete the process.
Note: Installing a new profile will replace the settings of any previously installed profiles.
