Features & Capabilities

personalDNSfilter is a lightweight DNS filter app for Android designed to enhance your privacy and security by blocking tracking, malware, phishing, and other unwanted content. It works by filtering domains locally based on host lists and supports encrypted DNS protocols including DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT).

The app does not require root access on Android 4.2 and newer, making it easy and effective to use as a malware and ad server filter. It features a live log to monitor accessed domains, allows you to set trusted upstream DNS servers, and runs completely locally without sending user data anywhere. personalDNSfilter can operate on individual devices or as a central DNS server for your network, offering flexible installation options. The tool is backed by a supportive community and emphasizes transparency and privacy, with no data collection involved.

User Reviews

Users consistently rate PersonalDNSfilter as a lightweight, effective solution for blocking ads and trackers while giving deep control over DNS blocks. It’s praised for speed, simplicity, and a rich feature set (backup/restore, proxy mode, multiple DNS servers, and visibility into app connections). The app is widely considered reliable across platforms and time, with frequent positive feedback about performance and privacy. A few caveats: blockers may not be flawless in every advanced scenario, some older devices aren’t fully supported, and some users seek easier pause/notification control. Overall, a top choice for privacy-focused filtering.

Pros

Excellent ad/tracker blocking that many users consider among the best.
Lightweight, fast, and easy to use.
Powerful features: backups/restores, proxy mode, multiple DNS servers, and visibility into app connections.
Transparent operation and helpful developer/Telegram community; cross-platform support.

Cons

Recent reviews

This is a great app. I used AI to improve the configuration file. This is a new phone. I would love to use it with AI Firewall, but only one app can be a vpn at a time. I shouldn't have to disable the AI Firewall to use this, because everyone has to have their own VPN, too. If there is a way to do this? what is it?
