This version of the app doesn't provide a launcher icon in your home screen. To access the app's settings, you need to first add it to your quick settings, then long press the tile.

Configure your preferred DNS modes to toggle in app and toggle your Private DNS mode from your quick settings panel.

In order to change the Private DNS setting, this app requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission.

This permission can only be granted either by Shizuku or in an ADB shell.

Shizuku
Start Shizuku, then open this app, and the permission should be granted automatically.
ADB
Use the command: adb shell pm grant com.flashsphere.privatednsqs.nolauncher android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Check out private-dns-qs.web.app/help on the steps to use adb to grant the permission.

If you prefer a launcher icon on your home screen, check out the app version here.

Download Metadata Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
