Guide summary
Before you start
Check 01
Use a current Firefox build.
Check 02
If you want Firefox to stay on Easy HNS even when the network changes, choose a stronger protection level instead of default.
Use the right field for the right input.
URL fields need the full DoH URL. Hostname fields need the DoT hostname only. IP fields need the raw address only.
Custom provider URL
https://dns.easyhns.com/dns-query
Use this as the Firefox DNS over HTTPS provider.
Short steps, no filler.
Follow the route in order, then verify the active DNS setting before changing another layer.
Step 01
Open the DNS over HTTPS settings
Open Firefox, go to Settings, select Privacy & Security, and scroll to the DNS over HTTPS section.
Step 02
Choose the protection mode you want
Use Increased Protection if you want Firefox to stay on your chosen provider with softer fallback behavior. Use Max Protection if you want Firefox to stay fully strict and warn when secure DNS cannot be used.
Step 03
Select Easy HNS as the provider
Pick the custom provider option and paste https://dns.easyhns.com/dns-query.
How to verify
Open a Handshake domain in Firefox.
Check the DNS over HTTPS status in Settings if Firefox says secure DNS is not active on the current network.
Troubleshooting
If Firefox reports Not active, the network, VPN, parental controls, or enterprise policies may be telling Firefox not to use DoH.
If a domain only works when protection is set to Default, your network may be forcing fallback behavior.
