What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

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
