DNSNet allows you to take more control over what internet traffic goes in and out of your device. You can download host files to block a set of known advertising or malicious host names and then create exemptions where you see fit.
It works by creating a lightweight VPN service that filters your internet traffic as you use your device. If you ever have trouble with connecting to a site or using an app, you can always exempt an app from filtering or create an exception for a specific host name.
Versions
Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
