Why is my device not connecting to IPv6 DNS? So there’s this instruction thing on the website to connect to IPv4 but they also include IPv6! I am trying to connect to the iPv6 DNS and for a reason it says that it isn’t connected! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Iphone (IOS 16.6.1) ignoring DNS server settings & content filtering Hi I used OpenDNS for content filtering at home. My Iphone (specifically Safari) when connected to WiFi seems to be ignoring the OpenDNS server settings and so content is not being blocked as expected (ie various social media sites). Here's what i can verify: Im not using any kind of VPN or proxy on my iphone Im definitely connected to my home wifi The content filtering via OpenDNS works fine on other wirelessly connected devices such as windows PCs connected to the same WiFi network. Even if I manually change the DNS settings on my wifi connection on my Iphone it still seems to ignore them. I am wondering if this is something to do with DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and whether there are any obvious solutions? Thanks D-M.

Automatic; works for 99.99% of the users. If you have to ask, then that is the setting for you.
