This is a secure dns and adblocker that has evolved into a great privacy app. Yesterday i noticed it has added support for Wireguard and TOR as well as proxy. The app comes with a customizable firewall. It means you can have secure dns combined with vpn/proxy and firewall in one app.

P.S: I’m not the developer.

    Why would you want in-the-cloud DNS content blocking? You’re pretty much passing your browsing history to a private company.

      With Android’s private DNS feature it makes it easy to get some form of system-wide ad blocking without needing to rely on an app or have root. I think that would make it fairly popular. Of course this is an app but the root argument still applies.

        But what’s the advantage of doing it with some private companies server instead of on-device? Why share your browsing history with them, when alternatives exist that don’t require it?

          The on-device ad blockers either require root or you have to use the VPN slot (and have the app constantly running). It all depends on what is more important to you.

      With RethinkDNS you can use either on device or cloud blocklists.

      Edit: cloud blocklists can be used with or without the app. The app adds useful things like a firewall, logging, wireguard support, etc.
