    AdAway is a free and open source ad blocker for Android.

  • InfluxDB

  • rethink-app

    DNS over HTTPS / DNS over Tor / DNSCrypt client, WireGuard proxifier, firewall, and connection tracker for Android.

  • Rethink, the app (github), isn't similar to NextDNS or any DNS service. It is a user-space firewall, with some nifty IP-based, app-based, and DNS-based rules.

  • serverless-dns

    The RethinkDNS resolver that deploys to Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Fastly, and Fly.io

  • Rethink, the resolver (github), is similar to NextDNS (to an extent), but open source.

  • dns66

    DNS-based Host Blocker (and lightweight ad blocker) for Android

  • DNS66 is on life-support now, even though it works great. Their lead developer, Julian, recommends using Private DNS instead: https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66/discussions/480

  • netguard

  • Yes, DDG indeed build on top of NetGuard (ref), just like TrackerControl does. So, you're right in one sense.
