Where is private dns option in MacOS

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.

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

Well if macOS and iOS don't satisfy your needs then you should probably move on, right?
