personalDNSfilter 1.50.56.0

personalDNSfilter is a DNS filter application for Android that offers encrypted DNS support, prioritizing your privacy. This app hooks into the domain name (DNS) resolution process and effectively blocks access to filtered hosts. With its host list-based filtering feature, personalDNSfilter can be used to prevent access to unwanted hosts related to malware, phishing, and tracking, among other risks.

Perhaps the most enlightening aspect of personalDNSfilter is its live log feature. A simple glance will reveal the domains accessed from your mobile device, providing valuable insights into your internet activity.

What sets personalDNSfilter apart is its compatibility with Android 4.2 and newer versions. Even without root access, this app acts as an effective filter against malware, tracking, and ad servers.

In addition to its DNS filtering capabilities, personalDNSfilter functions as a versatile DNS changer app, allowing you to set any upstream DNS server that you trust. Furthermore, it supports encrypted DNS servers through DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and DoT (DNS over TLS) technologies.

An important factor to note is that all filtering is done locally within the app itself. This means zero tracking and no data sent to any external parties.

You have two options for running personalDNSfilter: either locally on your device or centrally as the DNS server in your network. Additionally, an active Telegram community awaits you, filled with friendly individuals worldwide who are more than willing to offer support. Join them at t.me/pDNSf.

Before proceeding, it's crucial to be aware of some limitations. Firstly, personalDNSfilter is not a true VPN and does not hide your IP or cloak your location. Secondly, the app whitelist feature only works in VPN filter mode and not in root mode. Furthermore, it is important to mention that personalDNSfilter cannot block ads on platforms like YouTube and Facebook (as well as other first-party ads). It is recommended to use alternative clients for these platforms.

Rest assured, personalDNSfilter does not collect any user data. There is no data sent to the developers in any form.
