About DNS Resolver

NetShield is a local DNS resolver, ad/tracker sinkhole, and real-time

traffic monitor for Android.

Features:

* Two operation modes: a device-wide local VPN sinkhole, or a local UDP

DNS server on 127.0.0.1 for custom apps/routers.

* DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, and plain UDP upstream resolvers.

* Custom and built-in blocklists for ad/tracker sinkholing, with pause

controls (5/15 minutes) and per-app split tunneling.

* Real-time traffic dashboard, live query logs, and per-domain rules.

* Quick Settings tile and a home-screen widget to toggle protection

with a single tap.

* Import your own OpenVPN/WireGuard server configs to manage alongside

the resolver (importing and managing profiles only for now - no

bundled server list, and tunneling through them is not yet

implemented).

No ads, no analytics, no tracking, no non-free dependencies.
