Android 8.1 is coming: new features make users applaud

Whether it is Apple or Google, they are working hard to strengthen the security of the operating system to ensure maximum privacy for users. Of course, the current general trend is that people are paying more and more attention to the security of their information.

For the upcoming Android 8.1 system, Google will enable a new security protocol "DNS over TLS". Simply put, this new protocol prevents Internet service providers from secretly observing some of your actions on the Internet.

The current DNS mainly uses UDP or TCP protocols. After enabling TLS, the server completes the domain name resolution within a few nanoseconds. During this time, you can completely prevent the provider from snooping (at least it is easy to see which websites you visit).

It is worth mentioning that if the DNS you choose does not support the TLS protocol, it will not work. You need to manually switch to a domain name protocol service provider that supports TLS. There is no other way to do this because your browsing history is completely transparent to these Internet service providers. If you want to maintain privacy, you can only use a virtual private network.

This is definitely a good thing for users, as it will make browsing some inconvenient websites on mobile phones more enjoyable.
