Browser guides when you want the smallest possible change.
A browser guide is often the easiest way to test Easy HNS quickly. If you later want the setting to cover the whole device, move to Apple, Android, or Windows instead.
Browser-only route
Use this path when you want Handshake access in one browser before changing the whole device.

Easy HNS can work inside a VPN tunnel, but the winning resolver depends on where DNS is set.
Pick the browser you already use.
Every browser page includes the exact DoH URL, short numbered steps, and notes about what stays browser-only.
