Turning private dns on/ off automatically

[sweetypie31]

I use that adguard private dns to stop ads and it works great, but it doesn't play nice with my work wifi. I have to turn it off to use my work wifi or I have to use my data. What I want to know is , is there a way I can use Bixby routines to turn this on and off ? If so how? I've been trying to figure it out but haven't been successful.

I have automatic , but I wasn't sure what it would do. So if I put it in automatic will it turn off to let my job's wifi work?

I want it to disconnect when I'm at work for 12 hours and then reconnect once I'm out of my work wifi.

Unfortunately, you can't have it turn on/off Private DNS automatically - perhaps there is a way if the phone was rooted - but I've went down that path a while ago only to find out that it simply cannot be done automatically. It can't be done as a routine, and you can't ask Bixby to do it.

The "automatic' selection will not do what you want. I believe it just means that your phone will try to encrypt your DNS traffic and if it cannot, it'll fall back to unencrypted.

Ty for the info.
