========================================================== ===


features:

1,Use Hosts File on android devices with out root.So that can custom domain name
resolution records.
2,support wildcard DNS records.for example:

127.0.0.1 a.com  |
127.0.0.1 b.a.com  | => 127.0.0.1 .a.com
127.0.0.1 c.b.a.com |

3,full support ipv6 network , support change AAAA (Ipv6 Address) DNS records. example:

::  b.com  
2001:A124::6666 c.com
fc00:aaaa:bbbb:cccc:1111:2222:3333:1234  www.d.com
fe80::2 c.b.a.com

4,maybe more power saving when the records too much,because can use wildcard DNS records. such as google domain, only need one record ".google.com " that can represents all the subdomains.

Usage:

1,make the hosts file by self or get from Internet.
2,put the file into your phone anywhere you can choose or accessible.
3,start app. click the blue button where at the bottom of the scree , then select the hosts file which you make or get from Internet.
4, click the big white button which like a switch for running and the white button will turn green.
5,enjoy it!

Tips:
The app can free down from github.

Worked very well for at least a year. After the February 2020 security update on my lg v35 Android 9 phone, it seems to time out after a few minutes of inactivity and needs to be stopped and restarted to allow connections again. Also the async DNS flag was discontinued in chrome :(

Works perfectly on Android 9 using the Dev's fix. Simple app and I love the ability to so easily use my own hosts file. I tried the free version first and immediately came back and purchased to support xfalcon. Thanks for such an elegant way to stop ads!

Does not work on my pixel 2? I have seen alot of people get successful results with this app, and ive seen alot of pixel 2 users be unsuccessful. Whats up with that? any suggestions? Edit: It shows the vpn icon in the status bar and tells me that a vpn connection is active, but simply completely ignores the hosts file I chose??

please try ping your host domain use adb shell. try uninstall app, and install app. If you are using Chrome, disable browser compression (data saver)
