Description

https://www.privacytools.io/providers/dns/#dns-ios-clients only lists DNSCloak, while iOS 14 supports encrypted DNS through installing profiles (or apps that install profiles).

Why I am making the suggestion

I am iOS user and enthustiastic about encrypted DNS and have been following the iOS situation at the forum where I am thankful for Nitrohorse on correcting me that apps aren't necessary.

Adguard blog post on encrypted DNS for iOS including their signed profiles amongside screenshotted install instructions. I think this may also be helpful for non-iOS team members to read to get a picture on how it works.
Reddit guide on making profiles by yourself
Couple of profiles made by a Reddit user (I think this should have a warning to check the profile before installing to see that the addresses look OK).
NextDNS 2.0 ~~(in Testflight at time of writing)~~ app includes a profile.
Some profiles by Nitrohorse on mobileconfigs.netlify.app / GitLab source

My connection with the software

I am one of the original authors of the PrivacyTools DNS page, with the software I have no further connection than being an user of NextDNS (due to them being the first adaptor of the native iOS 14 support) and I have joined Adguard's Telegram group chat out of curiosity.

Connection update 2020-10-18: I have opened a merge request towards Nitrohorse's mobileconfigs.netlify.app and he is also PrivacyTools Team Member Emeritus.

I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.

I fear that I need to handle some personal issues first before I am able to look into this, so I cannot give any timetable promises and it may happen faster if someone else picks it up.

For some convenience/reference, I started creating DoH profiles for other providers.
