Wifi Privacy Warning “blocking encrypted DNS”

Thanks for replying to me but the answer in the thread you reference doesn’t help. It deals with the fact that the network can see the device’s MAC address and says to switch private IP address on. Private IP address was already on for this network, and as my post states, toggling it on and off makes no difference.

The privacy warning makes a very specific reference to the network blocking encrypted dns messages.

I have just removed the network on my iPad and added it back in. The message has gone. So will see how long it lasts.

From what I have read the message only gets triggered once the Apple device has detected a certain number of the encrypted dns messages have been blocked. I have seen several threads where people say the message clears by deleting the network and re-establishing it, only for it to come back some time later. Presumably when a threshold has been hit.

That would actually explain why I see it on my iPad but not my iPhone for the same network. I use the iPad a lot more than the phone on the home Wifi, and certainly use Safari a lot more which is what will generate the encrypted dns messages. On my phone I tend to just access mail and apps and not use the browser as much.

I am all for Apple introducing new security features, but when the vast majority of users network routers won’t support the feature they out to make it configurable.

Will be interesting to see how long yours goes for before the warning comes up again. Several days seems common.
