Quad9 Connect is an Android and ChromeOS app that sends your DNS queries to Quad9's secure, private, open recursive DNS service.Quad9 Connect adds additional functionality and features compared to using Android's Private DNS feature to utilize encrypted DNS or configured Quad9 in Chrome on ChromeOS.
The application creates a split VPN tunnel with Android API "VpnService" to configure an alternate DNS server on Android and ChromeOS.
## Features
- DNS over TLS or DNS over UDP
- DNS Query Log
- Trusted Networks
- Blocked Query Notifications
- Local Domains
- Excluded Applications
WhatsNew:
- Trusted Networks: Fixed a bug when trying to add a Trusted Network while on Mobile data would add a null entry to the list. Now an error message will display that the device must be connected to WiFi to add a Trusted Network.
- Quad9 Connect icon will no longer indefinitely show the "notification dot" or "1" on the app icon as if there is some event or message to review. (Requires uninstall + reinstall)
Anti-Features: TetheredNet(This app is bound to a certain network service):
⇒ Depends on Quad9 DNS server and does not have an exposed setting to be changed by the user.
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.
