DNS Toggle is a small Android app that allows you to easily toggle and automate your phone's Private DNS through the Quick Settings panel.
IMPORTANT:
To modify Private DNS system settings, this app requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission. You must either have a rooted device, use Shizuku, or manually grant it via ADB:
adb shell pm grant com.ericlowry.dnstoggle android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Features
- Quick Settings Tile: Toggle Private DNS on/off directly from the Quick Settings panel.
- Custom DNS Providers: Define one or more preferred hostnames (e.g., dns.nextdns.io) and seamlessly switch between them.
- Wi-Fi Filtering: Automatically disable Private DNS when connected to specific Wi-Fi networks.
- Automatic Blocking: Automatically blacklists the current Wi-Fi SSID when Private DNS causes connectivity issues.
- VPN Override: Automatically enforce a specific DNS hostname or disable Private DNS entirely whenever a VPN is active on your device.
- Backup & Restore: Export and import your configuration via password-encrypted files.
- Dynamic Tile Labeling: Rename the Quick Settings tile.
- Hide App Icon: Keep your home screen clean while maintaining access via the Quick Settings tile.
Privacy & Permissions
- No tracking, no ads, and no data collection.
- Location permissions are optional, and only used to identify Wi-Fi network names for the SSID Filter feature. They are never used to track your physical location.
WhatsNew:
- UI fixes and better scrolling on Android TV
- Added What's New section to display latest changes
- Fixed display colors on older devices and TVs
- Turkish translation WIP (thanks Kyo様)
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
