Setup PureBox in Opera
Opera can send the DNS lookups it uses when you visit websites through PureBox instead of whatever your connection uses by default. That only applies while you are browsing in Opera—not other apps on the same computer or phone.
When Opera shows the box for a custom provider, paste this exactly (copy and paste is fine):
https://dns-us.purebox.app/dns-query
Turn on DNS-over-HTTPS in Opera
- Open Opera.
-
Open Settings—click the ☰ menu in the top-right
corner, scroll down, and click Go to full browser settings.
(Or type
opera://settingsin the address bar and press Enter.) - In the search box at the top of Settings, type dns.
- Find Use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of the system's DNS settings. Turn the switch on.
- Under the provider options, choose Custom (wording may vary slightly by Opera version).
-
Paste
https://dns-us.purebox.app/dns-queryinto the custom field. Settings save automatically; you do not need to restart the browser.
If you do not see Use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of the system's DNS settings, your Opera build may be older, or an organization may manage your browser and hide the setting. If you use Opera's built-in VPN, DNS-over-HTTPS may not apply while the VPN is on. In that case, ask whoever supports your device, or set PureBox at the system or router level using the other guides here.
