Have OSes evolved enough that encrypted DNS is available? If so, would someone with enough technical knowledge link a guide on how to set it up within a popular OS?
I imagine that even if you plug in one of the suggested DNS provider IP addresses into your network settings, the OS is still going to make plaintext requests that your ISP can snoop on unless you require it to be encrypted somehow.
Maybe try dnscrypt. If a graphical frontend is available for your OS of choice it is very simple to setup.
It was super easy on Windows, but even easier on NixOS where I just set it up without any GUI, just enabled it and that's it
