About DNSNet
DNSNet is an Android content blocker that filters network traffic using host lists. Users can download lists of known advertising or malicious host names, then create exceptions for hosts that should remain accessible. Filtering runs through a lightweight local VPN service. If a website or app stops working as expected, users can exempt the app or add a host exception. This makes it possible to adjust blocking without disabling the filter entirely. DNSNet gives users control over which network destinations are blocked on the device, while exceptions allow them to resolve compatibility problems. The app’s supplied description focuses on host-file-based blocking and a local VPN filter. It does not describe a remote VPN provider or an online privacy service; the VPN component is used to apply the filtering rules to device traffic.
