About personalDNSfilter

personalDNSfilter is a DNS filter proxy written in Java. It hooks into

the domain name (DNS) resolution and returns the loopback address for

filtered hosts.

It can be used for filtering ads and other unwished hosts based on a host

list – thus it is a good AdBlock alternative. On Android 4.2 and newer it

can be used as effective ad, malware and tracking server filter without

root access!

It works with any upstream DNS server - filtering is completely local - no

phoning home or such things! You can run it locally on your device or

centrally as DNS server in your network.
