DNS Shield: DNS & Firewal Description

DNS Shield is a private DNS and firewall app for Android phones and tablets. It
changes two things about your own device: where its DNS lookups are sent, and which
of your apps are allowed onto the network.

🔒 Private DNS
Every time your phone opens an app or loads a page, it asks a DNS resolver to turn a
name into an address. Normally your network picks that resolver, it sees every name
your device looks up, and the request travels in plain text. DNS Shield sends those
lookups to a privacy-focused resolver instead.

🔐 Encrypted DNS (DoH)
Turn on DNS over HTTPS and every lookup is wrapped in an encrypted connection. Your
network operator can no longer read the names your device resolves or substitute a
different answer for them, which is what makes DNS spoofing and injected redirects
possible in the first place.

🧱 Per-app firewall
Open Block Internet and switch off any app on your phone. That app is refused
network access until you switch it back on. Useful for apps you want installed but
offline, and for cutting background data from apps you rarely open.

📝 Your own domain list
Add any domain to your blocked list and this device stops resolving it. Add one to
your allowed list to make sure it always resolves. Both lists are yours, stored on
your device, and editable at any time.

📊 Network monitor
See which domains your device looked up and when, then block or allow any of them in
one tap. The log is written to local storage and never uploaded. You can turn it off
in Settings.

🚀 No root required
Everything works on a standard, unrooted phone or tablet.

At a glance:
• 🔐 Encrypted DNS over HTTPS
• 🧱 Per-app internet control
• 📝 Your own block and allow lists
• 📊 Local, private activity log
• 🚀 No root, no remote VPN

What DNS Shield does not do:
It does not modify, interfere with, or inject anything into other apps, and it does
not change how any app you have installed behaves. It decides one thing only: how
this device resolves domain names, and which of your apps this device lets onto the
network.

Permissions:
VPN — required to route DNS lookups on-device. Android will ask you to confirm it.
Notifications — used to show that protection is running and to let you stop it.

Premium removes the ads in this app, unlocks Encrypted DNS, and lifts the limit on
custom block and allow rules.

Please note: DNS Shield works by running a local VPN connection on your device to
direct DNS traffic. Your browsing data is not routed through our servers — it stays
on your phone. This does not affect your carrier's network or any other service.

Comments about DNS Shield: DNS & Firewal Android Version

It's not perfect, an ad occasionally slips through, but I wasn't expecting perfection, just reduction. And that, it does. There are way fewer ads with it on, and if I need to allow an app to show ads, rather than worry about exceptions, I can just turn it off. All in all, a nice simple solution to help bring a little order to the chaos caused by ads.

I like this ad blocker, it does a great job in Firefox and most of my game apps. However, recently it started blocking everything from my Spotify, preventing me from listening to music or even navigating the app. I have granted an exception to Spotify but the ad blocker still won't let it work normally and stream music. Hope this gets fixed, as I would love to keep using this ad blocker!

Works spectacularly 👌. And the bonus of it being free, I can't resist not using it. Theres this one app I use a lot and it is locked and loaded with tons of ads, but after I ran the app again, I saw no ads, not even a banner, pop up. I would recommend this to everybody who despises ads. of course, it doesn't work on youtube, but I dont really care much about that!
