I just started getting a Privacy warning saying that my network is blocking encrypted DNS Traffic?? What does this mean?
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15
Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities, DebFau26.
We see that you've got some concerns about a warning that you received. We've got some questions to better understand what's going on.
•Is this happening on your personal network?
•Do you get the same error if you restart your device and any network hardware, if possible?
•Have there been any changes to your network recently?
We look forward to hearing from you.
DNS is the way devices on the internet change people readable website addresses to IP addresses.
Encrypted DNS uses from device to DNS server encrypted packets so your ISP and anyone else can't track what website you are going to.
Your ISP or the network you are connected to isn't allowing this, most likely to capture the data and sell it to advertisers.

I was on my home WiFi and never got that message before.
Apple has introduced security warnings for network connections in recent iOS versions.
If it's your home network connection, there is nothing you can do.
Your ISP is not supporting encrypted DNS.
I restarted my phone and the message went away for now. I just don’t know how this started or why and how to fix it if it comes up again.
