The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Configure App for Optimal Use
It lets you run the "on-device" version of RethinkDNS+. It lets you set blocklists to help you block domains based on categories such as trackers & ads, cryptocurrencies, gambling, social media, adult, security etc with precurated list of blocklists (which are defined here). These are DNS-based blocklists, so as such, they're less powerful than anti-ad browsers like Brave, Vivaldi or browser-based plugins like uBlockOrigin, AdGuard.

How to add custom blocklist?
There's an open issue to include it: github/serverless-dns/blocklists/issues/21 (the reason we haven't already is that it isn't clear if existing blocklists are insufficient compared to it).
-
Why are u using dns and is nextdns worth it?
Filter list: Rethink actually has had 1:1 filter support with NextDNS for a long time. It doesn't now since NextDNS has moved a lot of its filters away from the erstwhile open metadata repository. So, now we do our own lists: https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists

(Rethink DNS) Should I use "enable on-device blocklists" in the dns settings?
The code that generates the blocklists is also open source.
-
Netguard vs TrackerControl vs other firewalls/blocking apps
We _do_ compile to reduce memory and cpu impact. RethinkDNS app can do 5M entries without breaking a sweat. You don't see us ask folks to not use larger lists because the implementation is such. The code which compresses these blocklists into a compact form for use on mobile devices is open source: github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists/
-
What do you think of RethinkDNS recommended lists?
The repository that builds these (and other lists) for RethinkDNS (the resolver) is at https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists

After longer pause all internet blocked dammit.
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?) (:

Widget / Notification Action for Universal Lockdown
Noted. Thanks.
- Make rethinkdns show allowed apps at the top

What is the best firewall app for android?
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 (:

Thoughts on RethinkDNS. Firewall, Privacy, Ads, all-in-one app for privacy.
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.
-
Allow inbound LAN connections
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
-
v054b: A much improved DNS
I believe it is a bug with okhttp, a library we use internally for blocklist updates: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/875
-
Using NetGuard over Blokada 5
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

IMHO, Asus Calculator is the best calculator app around
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.
-
I can't block the domain mtalk.google.com. What could be the reason?
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
What are some alternatives?
When comparing blocklists and rethink-app you can also consider the following projects:

1Hosts - World's most advanced DNS filter-/blocklists!
serverless-dns - The RethinkDNS resolver that deploys to Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Fastly, and Fly.io
dns66 - DNS-based Host Blocker (and lightweight ad blocker) for Android
personalDNSfilter - personalDNSfilter is a DNS filter proxy written in Java.
Nebulo - Mirror of https://git.frostnerd.com/PublicAndroidApps/smokescreen. Feel free to contribute here as well.
afwall - AFWall+ (Android Firewall +) - iptables based firewall for Android
