Comments on DNS Server for Android

★★★★★ Works but needs help If you want to use this as the default DNS server on your phone, also install "DNS Forward" app, and set it to forward to 127.0.0.1 port 5353 (or whatever port you chose for the server). Then it works fine all the time without using a router.

★★★★★ bajurenangmuslimah buy swim suit using app dns is verry good

★★★★★ Works great 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.

★★☆☆☆ Non-Existent Support 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.

★★☆☆☆ Time waste Created a server in this app, added the rule to map domain with IP and started the server. No effect, domain still was not using given IP.

★★☆☆☆ 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.
