I don't think public VPNs will provide you with any level of security. Unless you're using a true VPN tunnel, such as between you and your employer's, school's or bank's servers, they provide false security from a privacy standpoint. Read these two articles: Public VPN's are anything but private and Former Malware Distributor Kape Technologies Now Owns a number of Public VPNs and a Collection of VPN “Review” Websites.

Its been a while since this was posted but you change your DNS by going Settings- Network- click on the network you're connected to- Details- DNS- then type the URL you want to use under "Search Domain" and click ok. Then you've set your custom DNS. It looks different but you can use a custom DNS on Mac. However, keep in mind that as far as I'm aware you'll need to set this for each wifi point you connect to. This is the biggest difference between Mac and Mobile, so if you connect to new wifi don't forget you'll need to set the DNS again. I hope this helps if you end up here looking for the same solution. :)
So tell us what you mean by 'private dns'. Your internet provider provides DNS services. There also open/public DNS servers.
I searched it. It is another FUD-based drive (like VPNs) to use an encrypted connection to DNS.

Yup, that was the first answer.
If you mean DNS over HTTPS then I don't think that MacOS or iOS support it directly, but some apps do. Firefox has DoH as a setting. You could probably get the same level of security with a VPN.
You can specify any DNS you like in Network settings.
see this where u can put url "dns.google" or "dns.adguard.com" not 8.8.8.8 which is easily blocked by agencies
To be honest, the meaning of Private DNS is something like that; surely, you get an added security encryption protocol that hides your DNS query over the network. In technical terms, they are called DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and DoT (DNS over TLS).
With these on board, your system has a minimum chance to get a Malware attack, Man in the middle (MITM) attack, a Ransomeware attack or a DDoS attack. And the reason is quite simple, you’re cut off from the public internet since there is no tracking and no unnecessary networking node
If you want an answer then you need to ask Apple. The people on this forum don't work for Apple and don't have any inside information about Apple's intentions. We're a bunch of users who try to help other users, so we can't give anything other than our technical expertise and opinions.
You could use the Apple feedback form to suggest that Apple implements DoH in future
chrome, Edge chromium, firefox all have private DoH DNS option,
andriod phones already have Private DNS option were i enter "dns.google" or "dns.adguard.com"
it gives vpn like security without slow speeds, because VPN means slow speed and latency
Private DNS mode allows you to send your network data to a secure DNS address rather than the one that would otherwise most likely be controlled by your internet service provider, or if you’re connected to a public Wi-Fi network, the internet service provider of that network.
Well if macOS and iOS don't satisfy your needs then you should probably move on, right?
Wanted an answer not personal opinion
what you suggested is pic 8.8.8.8 ,
what i want is this dns.google Private DNS option
