for anybody confused like I was (takes 1min to setup)

check out http://www.nextdns.io (like Pi-hole) gives you control over things like ads, blacklists, etc

set your DNS Servers to whatever it says, mine are

45.90.28.42

45.90.30.42

and go to that website https://my.nextdns.io

click settings and enable handshake

then you're good to go and can access TLDs from the chain

check out http://ix

took me 2 minutes to figure it out

I'd love for browsers to support HTTPs on these TLDs.

Firefox already supports NextDNS, there's instructions on how to set up DNS over HTTPS

I'm kinda liking nextdns anyways over 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare)

project has my interest
