Análisis de la app DNS Shield: DNS & Firewal para 7 de agosto

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. Questions: support.app@shortc.in
