Hi,
I use [1] dnscrypt-proxy which is a daemon listening on localhost port 53 and encrypting all DNS queries in HTTPS.

FIY there is also DoT (DNS over TLS) which also encrypts the DNS queries though directly using TLS not within an HTTPS protocol.

Both solutions have their pros and cons. Duckduckgo is your friend.

Hope it helps,
Petr
