Daedalus is an Android app that modifies DNS resolution without root access by creating a local VPN tunnel to intercept DNS requests. It supports custom DNS servers, hosts files, DNSMasq configs, and encrypted DNS protocols including DoT and DoH.
Use cases
- change dns server on android without root
- block ads on android using hosts file
- use dns over https on android
- use dns over tls on android
- test dns server performance
- bypass isp dns hijacking
- custom dnsmasq configuration on android
When to choose
- you need custom DNS or hosts-based filtering on a non-rooted Android device
- you want encrypted DNS (DoT/DoH) support on Android
- you need IPv6-aware DNS rules and low power consumption
When to avoid
- you need a full VPN with traffic encryption, not just DNS handling
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
- you are on iOS or desktop platforms
