Full description
ShieldDNS is a lightweight DNS-based privacy protection app. It uses Android’s VPN API locally on your device to filter DNS requests and trackers at the network level. No traffic is routed through our servers, and no browsing activity is logged. How it works: • Intercepts DNS queries locally on your device • Forwards allowed queries to trusted DNS providers • All non-DNS traffic passes through normally Key features: • Works across apps and browsers • No account or login required • Ad free app. • No browsing history stored • Low battery and data usage • Family Guard • Option to block porn sites and sexual content. Privacy first: ShieldDNS operates entirely on your device. DNS queries are processed in memory and are not stored or shared. You stay in control at all times. Important note: ShieldDNS uses Android’s VPN permission only to enable local DNS filtering. It does not provide a remote VPN tunnel and does not inspect or modify web traffic content. Compatible with modern Android devices and designed for simplicity and transparency. Block trackers almost on ALL apps — not just your browser. ShieldDNS uses DNS filtering to silently block trackers, and malicious domains almost across every app on your device. No root required. No account needed. No remote VPN tunnel — your traffic stays on your device. ✔ Block trackers system-wide ✔ DNS-based filtering — works in all apps and browsers ✔ No root required ✔ No account or login ✔ No browsing history stored or shared ✔ Low battery & data usage ✔ Block malware and phishing domains ✔ Private DNS — queries processed in memory only Unlike other blockers, ShieldDNS never inspects or modifies your web traffic. It simply filters DNS queries locally — fast, private, and lightweight. Perfect for privacy-conscious users, parents wanting safe browsing for kids, and anyone who wants an ad-free, tracker-free Android experience.
