This app uses the Device Administrator permission.
This is in no way required any only used to prevent uninstallation if wanted by the user. No system settings are modified.
-----------------------------
Whilst it is fairly easy to adjust the DNS servers used by your device when using wifi, android offers no option to change the used DNS servers when using a mobile connection (2G/3G/4G etc.).
This App creates a VPN connection locally (No data leaves your phone using this VPN connection) to use your configured DNS servers on both wifi and mobile networks without needing root permissions.
Both Ipv4 and Ipv6 are usable, a feature which isn't supported on many phones (Even Android doesn't offer IPv6 DNS configuration in your wifi settings).

5 ★ I really like it because I could get clean browsing but restrict which apps receive it. Which means my YouTube won't be affected and I could see comments. With its wide array of options it's the best DNS, plus no ads.
5 ★ Fantastic; been using it for years. All you have to do is set up a small Ubuntu VM, install PiHole, and you've got in-app ad blocking (as well as a backup for your browser if needed). Handy one tap shortcuts to toggle it, and excluded apps list. Careful: my phone likes to silently close dnspipe shortly AFTER you unplug it from the charger, sometime when the screen is off. That's just the stupid OS/manuf skin though; I've never had it crash on me.
5 ★ It's been solid use of a DNS app, letting me change the dns specifically for the browser, excluding other apps so that they function just fine.
4 ★ At the begining it was an awesome app bt after fews days it will disconnect automatically.i don't know why this is happening.so please solve the prblem as soon as possible
1 ★ I like the premise, but the implementation using a VPN means you cant use it at the same time as a no-root firewall. I am not willing to choose between no protection on the Internet and changing my DNS provider. There has to be a better option.
4 ★ Really good app before start this my phone network really poor but after the DNS is on my gaming experience changed No lag No network problem really ghis is the best app
5 ★ NO ROOT NEEDED - yay!! Very nice app, does what it is supposed to do - change your DNS. You get to select from several DNS providers or use your own DNS settings. Provides Black/White list option for apps, pin protection to secure settings and ability to set app to admin status - keeps other apps from bypassing new DNS security. Uses a local VPN to allow network settings normally not available to android apps - brilliant! Two thumbs up to developer - Thank you.
5 ★ Great App Dev(s)!! Heads up, app crashes whenever I try to use custom port in "Advance Settings". Any possible fix? Model: Samsung S9 OS: 10/PIE P.S. Really respect the features you added for advance users and tucked it away at the bottom, so as not to confused folks. Great app! Lightweight and does exactly as needed.
5 ★ Easy to use. Much helpful if you use a custom network gateway on a mobile level that is not on router level. And Nebulo rocks
1 ★ Keep asking for me a review....Horrible, like all apps. I get just as many wifi disconnects no matter the DNS used. Using a cheap free phone and AT&T Access not helping I'm sure.
5 ★ Does exactly what I want to do and hasn't had any issues. Runs smooth and very stable. Edit to add it's still working great Oct 2020!
1 ★ Im facing lots of problems, this app used to work perfectly, and I did rated it 5 star, however from the recent update, it causes massive bugs, mainly for some reason when I restart the phone, another type of notification of vpn connection shows, and it freezes the phone and it doesn't even let me stop it, then after LITERALLY RESTARTING the phone 2-3 time, it starts normally with the normal notification bar and nothing wrong happens. (Sorry for bad eng). Plz fix this devs!
5 ★ I think this is an exceptional tool especially if there are no settings in your phone to change the dns servers manually. It does what it should. No complaints.. its excellent in my opinion!!! I love it!!!
5 ★ Best for pupg another version ooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmggggggggggg so Good luck to play game so enter the app and dont touch any thing but click on start and it starts and it has no time or disable open the app and click on stop
5 ★ Best DNS changer without ads. Does the job perfectly. Great work!
