- Adguard Regular: https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query
- Adguard Family: https://dns-family.adguard.com/dns-query

If you found a problem such as failed to browse any website, you may need to quit Firefox and start it again. Now you can browse safely. Happy browsing with your family!

This tutorial will help you setup DoT (short for DNS over TLS) security into your Debian 12 Bookworm. With this, we hope you will have a very secure internet access so nobody can forcefully block or redirect your browsing activities in the middle especially for your dns line. This article complements our both Debian 12 Install Guide and After Install Recommendation. We choose here a secure public dns service that serves DoT --Quad9 from Swiss-- to replace our internet service provider's one which does not support it. We hope this will be helpful for you.
