## What it is
WhiteDNS is a source-available Android application that runs a local DNS tunneling client with both proxy (SOCKS5/HTTP) and VPN (VpnService + tun2proxy) modes, backed by MasterDNS and supporting StormDNS and CottenDns engines. It is proprietary but published for transparency, with profile management, split tunneling, traffic stats, and a Jetpack Compose Material 3 UI.

## Use cases
- tunnel traffic over DNS to bypass network restrictions
- run a local SOCKS5 proxy on Android via DNS tunneling
- route all device traffic through a DNS tunnel with VPN mode
- import and manage stormdns:// server profiles
- use split tunneling to exclude apps from the tunnel
- monitor connection logs and traffic statistics while tunneling

## When to choose
- you need to circumvent restrictive firewalls that only allow DNS traffic on Android
- you want a ready-made Android client for MasterDNS/StormDNS DNS tunneling
- you need both per-app proxy and full-device VPN tunneling modes

## When to avoid
- you need a permissively licensed library to embed in your own product (source-available, redistribution forbidden)
- you need an iOS, desktop, or server-side DNS tunneling solution
- you require a Google Play-distributed app (only official releases are via this repository)
