Privacy Warning on Wi-Fi Network settings - IOS

[Bytors]

Hi there,

I noticed a privacy warning that wasn't there before, maybe since IOS 15 but can't be positive.

Is says that this network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic. How do I resolve this?

Best regards

Hi @Bytors 

Does the pinned post at the top of this forum help?

The link I saw speaks to the Wi-Fi keys used. I’d already adjusted mine when the service went in. I do not see any reference to encrypted dns traffic. Why would that not be allowed?

What network name are you connecting to?

The warning is technically correct - Virgin Media's DNS servers don't currently support encrypted DNS, however that's not the same as the Virgin Media network blocking you using other DNS servers that do use it

First thing I would suggest using is the 'Forget this network' option for your home WiFi and setting it up again on your device.

Hi There,

I was connecting to my own router. I did what you suggested and it stopped. I also manually changed my DNS servers and it was also fine. 

So thanks for that.

Cheers

In my case this appeared after I set up hub, the Ipad could see the old SSID of the SH3, which was due to one of the the pods not  provisioning to the new hub and appearing as the old SSID, 2nd line support sorted after some effort. Old SSID  removed and IOS message as well.
