NOTE: Dvelopment has stopped. The newer https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.clombardo.dnsnet/ continues development.DNS66 allows blocking host names via DNS. This can be used for ad blocking. It
also allows other DNS servers to be added, for more privacy.
Compared to AdBlock Plus, this works without proxy stuff; and it also does not
require root, like AdAway does: DNS66 establishes a VPN interface, and redirects
DNS server traffic to it. The VPN interface filters the traffic, only allowing
queries for hosts that are not blacklisted.
A host (list) can be configured as allow, deny, or ignore. A later entry in the
list overrides a previous entry.
Custom DNS Servers can be configured as well, using the same UI, but no
differentiation is made between ignored and denied servers.
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.
