DNS request are attempted to send encrypted with DNS-over-TLS.
If the DNS server does not support TLS, DNS-over-TLS is disabled.
Note that this mode makes DNS-over-TLS vulnerable to "downgrade"
attacks, where an attacker might be able to trigger a downgrade
to non-encrypted mode by synthesizing a response that suggests
DNS-over-TLS was not supported. If set to false, DNS lookups
are send over UDP.</para>
