personalDNSfilter VS rethink-app

Maybe try https://www.zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter-wp/ https://github.com/IngoZenz/personaldnsfilter btw: its on FDroid Store too

I recommend personalDNSfilter (GitHub) as the on-device filter, which then gets passed through to nextDNS or any other DNS of your choosing. Been using it for over a year, it's superb, but I wish we had something as powerful as Portmaster (desktop-only for now, although the team has considered Android, and they thought it is a viable option)

personalDNSfilter (version 1.50.53.5): DNS request based Host Blocker over local VPN using a Blocklist

If you want DoT support then you can try personaldnsfilter

I've been looking into doing something similar and stumbled upon a method that uses personalDNSfilter with OpenVPN for personalDNSfilter, which is a special version of the OpenVPN for Android app.

You could try personalDNSfilter ... https://www.zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter-wp/

Android Update: fix can be obtained (on a non-rooted phone) by using the Personal DNS Filter app (install from PlayStore). This app allows to manipulate DNS by creating a VPN.

Here's our GitHub page and here our website. Here you can see a video of personalDNSfilter in action.

personalDNSfilter (version 1.50.50.1): DNS request based Host Blocker over local VPN using a Blocklist

We are aware of connectivity issues with WireGuard (ref) that we've fixed in yet-to-release version v055b. Please wait until that's out (2 days? 3?) (:

Noted. Thanks.

Also, crafting nice UI isn't our strong suit. One look at our github issue tracker (ex) and you'd know. We try our best, though (:

sky is a stub resolver, which after stripping out all request information, forwards the dns query to both Cloudflare and Google DoH servers (code), and replies from which ever responds back the fastest. Both the client app and the resolver (server) are open source, so if you find any leaks and know what's up, we're open to changes.

Could, but it'd clutter the Settings screen? Probably, Rethink could let expert users enter arbitrary IP subnets to exclude / not route? This setting will be a footgun, though! Regardless, I've noted it: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/899

I believe it is a bug with okhttp, a library we use internally for blocklist updates: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/875

NetGuard can block tracker and ad (albeit very basic), so you can use it on its own without Blokada. Or you can use the AdGuard app instead which has both firewall and (complete) adblocking feature. If you prefer open source app then check Rethink https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app

First one is Rethink DNS: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app to manage and block domains when apps connecting to internet (similar to Blokada, Adguard...). Here that calculator app connects to googletagmanager after installing and opening.

In v054b, we're planning to switch back to the old behaviour -- of domain names blocked during DNS name resolution instead of (translating it to IP rules) at TCP / UDP connection time -- if the user has not set any per-app domain name rules and if the user is not using Bypass DNS and Firewall setting for any app: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/817
