An Android app that lets users customize the hosts file on their device without root access by implementing a local VPN service. It supports wildcard DNS records so a single entry can cover all subdomains.
Use cases
- block ads on android without root
- redirect domains to localhost for development testing
- override dns records on android device
- block specific websites on my phone
- test local server domains on android
- apply wildcard hosts entries for subdomains
When to choose
- you need hosts-file based domain blocking or redirection on Android without root
- you want wildcard DNS record support in a hosts file
- you want a simple open-source app available on F-Droid and Play Store
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured ad blocker with filter lists and HTTPS filtering
- you need system-wide DNS-over-HTTPS or encrypted DNS
- you are on a non-Android platform
