xfinity is blocking encrypted dns traffic on my apple devices. Is there a way unblock? warning says the name of websites and other servers your device accesses on this network may be monitored and recorded by other devices on this network.
2 different vpn services I have tried get this same warning. 1.1.1.1 and norton vpn.
If the block is being caused by a common port used by vpns, is it possible to change the port the vpn uses?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12
No, there is nothing you can do.
However, I also have Xfinity and do not experience this issue.
Do you use Xfinity's router for your network or do you have your own?
Many Wi-Fi routers provide what is called a caching DNS server: it sets itself up to be the DNS server for your network, makes DNS requests on your behalf and saves the answer so the next time a device on your network needs to look up an address, it will provide the answer without having to send a request over the Internet.
Many such devices do not support encrypted DNS and generate the message.
Look at your network address settings and check whether your DNS server is set to the address of Comcast's server or a local address such as 192.168.0.1.
If the latter, you can try setting your DNS server to Google's to see if the issue goes away.
