DNS Server
Note 1. If you find a bug or have a problem please contact us by email since we cannot help you if you post it in the reviews.
Note 2. Normally DNS Servers run on port 53, but because of some limitations on Android that is not possible. So you will need to add port forwarding in your home network to access the server on port 53.
**In this version you can add one server (DNS, or Dynamic DNS Updaters), three rules and if allowed IP’s is set also only three of them. If you want to be able to add unlimited items please buy DNS Server Pro. If you buy the pro version you will support development, will be able to add unlimited items and see no advertisements!**

It's very simply absolutely awesome from what I infer is your communication stand by for sufficient command detailed; packed with your connotations. I dont know how to use it or what its for but...a little fire & bullets never harmed anyone so 5 stars
I Ronn Hinds rate this SERVER APP a 5 Because it is a very good APP every one should try it for they self and see how good it is .
Can this dns server work like a pi-hole serve? It will be great if it can use/import the ad block list which the pi-hole server uses.
Nice program that does it's job without to much drama!
Wifi signal is stronger than ever!!!
This app is user friendly. Thanks
Very nice app. Will be handy in my work
By serving this app my phone works well
Hmm didn't accept the port for my custom resolver.

I had a problem with this app and another, similar app from this company. Was very hopeful that one app or the other would prove very useful to me. I sent them an email and also posted a query on their forum. Heard nothing for three weeks. Then, I saw that the forum I had posted to had zero replies -- from them or anyone else. I don't know if this app works or not. With the non-existent user support that I received, it really doesn't matter. It was just a big waste of time for me. Too bad. The app looked promising.
Very simple to use. Removed DNS lock and automagically works wherever I bring my tablet. Adds greater fluidity to all browsing especially in zones with terrible latency.
I couldn't make it work. Despite adding a hostname to IP mapping rule, the hostname could not be resolved by browsers running on the same android device. I changed the device IP setting from DHCP to static such that I can explicitly point to this DNS server but I was unable since the phone does not let me define a port for the DNS IP address, which would be necessary considering this app can't use the default DNS server port, 53. I then gave it up.
Excellent application it works great. It fills my needs and protect my device and me. I recommend 100%
I'm setting up Wi-Fi tethering on my device and need to test why DNS isn't working, so I installed this. Even though I have root by default, the app assumes that I don't and disables port 53. Please resolve? (No pun intended) Thanks. (Also, it's hard to find the save settings button, which doesn't exist - you have to go back for it to prompt you to save settings.)
Always works and nothing ever works the first time never fails me
I tried to start server & type nslookup on different PC on the same network . But PC did not receive return from the server . Is there any special setting ?
Works wonderfully does exactly what I need it to do.
buy swim suit using app dns is verry good
Great app. Just what it says.
Excellent and unwavering. Now that's what I'm looking for.
If i can't set to port 53 on my rooted phone... then not worth it.
Never seen thiss app is the best
I want to rate this app
I want to run my only dns server on my ps3
Lol. What the hell is this? No port 53 support.
Best app
great app I loved it
This app does what it says on the tin. The downside of its simplicity is that it lacks the abilities I need from it (easy import of rules), but that's on me, not the developers. Great if you need a DNS server and just want to do some simple things on it, such as testing how your app/site behaves when a particular server is unreachable.
