First of all some considerations before going on:
  • the app needs a rooted device
  • the app is now working with Marshmallow
(if it fails try the latest *BETA* of SuperSU!)
  • support of DNS on non standard ports is in
testing (after you buy the app you can become a beta tester)
  • if you find something which seems broken
please contact us ([email protected]) before posting a negative
feedback. We can fix things really we do!
The app is a DNS changer for mobile and Wi-Fi networks which works from Android version 4.3 (Jelly Bean).
The app was born to change DNS on KitKat but it has been ported to Lollipop and Marshmallow. From version 1.3.0 it has been backported to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean MR2 too.
With this software you can
  • Bypass internet censorship when
based upon DNS blocking.
  • Overcome an Android limitation:
there's no system setting to change mobile DNS.
  • Speed up internet connection. You
can find many articles on the web which show various benchmarks of
Domain Name Servers performances and how they affect your
navigation (your mileage may vary).
  • Keep in sync mobile and Wi-Fi DNS
in fact from v1.2.0 the app can handle Wi-Fi connections too.
Features
  • Automatic DNS change when a mobile
connection gets activated (can be disabled).
  • Automatic DNS change when a Wi-Fi
connection gets activated (can be disabled).
  • Automatic DNS change when an ethernet
connection gets activated (can be disabled).
  • Wi-Fi filter based on SSID so you can
automatically apply DNS only to certain connections (can be
disabled).
  • Custom DNS values.
  • Almost zero memory and CPU usage because
it's not a service.
  • Notifications let you know that the app is
working (can be disabled).
  • Automatic DNS flush without need to
restart the device.
  • DashClock integration to keep an eye on
the DNS in use.
  • It comes prepacked with the most common
DNS services.
  • Simple and clean interface (Holo for
KitKat Material for Lollipop+)
  • Ad free.
  • Works on Marshmallow Lollipop KitKat and
Jelly Bean.
Known issues
  • does not fully support multiple active
connections (i.e. tethering or Wi-Fi AP): you can exclude one
network device from the advanced settings
  • horizontal layout is still awful.
