Set DNS 2.1.3 APK
SetDNS is the easiest way to force your rootedphone to use custom nameservers on WiFi for all devices AND3G/mobile networks on rooted devices. Works for both IPv4 and IPv6networks and nameservers.------PLEASE DON'T INSTALL ON ANDROID 4.3 FOR THE MOMENT, THERE AREPROBLEMS WITH THE WAY DNS HANDLING HAS BEEN CHANGED IN THE KERNEL.I'VE PULLED IT FROM THE MARKET FOR 4.3 DEVICES.------Preserves your custom nameserver information when using bothwireless and 3g/edge mobile connection. WIFI Only with non-rootedphones.Comes with google, opendns, opendns family shield, fooldnssettings, enter custom DNS servers and option to revert back toDHCP.Includes widgets that will show the current DNS state and if youhave DNS Pro installed, will allow nameserver changes by clickingthe appropriate widget.In normal mode, this app doesn't change *any* system files(unlike some DNS apps), so you don't need to back up yournameserver details. Just reverting back to DHCP will go back toyour normal network settings.You can update the resolv.conf file within the preferences ifthe normal settings don't work. This will modify the contents ofthe resolv.conf if it is writable, after taking a backup.OpenDNS Family Shield settings can be used to filter adult orinappropriate content on the phone.Using alternative nameservers like Google DNS or OpenDNS candramatically speed up your browsing. You can also bypass local DNSfilters such as Nawala.Set DNS also checks if your browsing goes via a proxy servicethat overrides your DNS settings. When network settings change, itwill try to access a URL directly using the IP address. If thishits the right server then you have a direct connection to thenetwork. If not, then a proxy is intercepting the connection and isusing it's own nameserver information.Proxy testing is turned *off* by default. You can enable it inthe preferences.I've had some feedback about net.rmnet0.dns[12] not beingchanged (there's a comment here too). The app doesn't change thesesettings by design. Changing net.dns[12] is sufficient to changethe DNS lookups on the device. However, if I get more requests forthe rmnet0 settings to be changed, I'll add in an option tooverride the interface specific DNS as well. Just drop me anemail.====If you have any problems with this - please email me or leave amessage on the google plus page (see the About option) beforerating on the market. Most problems are due to cached DNS ornetwork proxies rather than the app itself.In particular, testing against sites such as opendns will failif going through a mobile carrier's proxy.====******If you find this app useful, please consider buying the Set DNS Proapp which activates locking, control widgets and non-rootedfunctionality.******Please note, entering the wrong nameserver details can breakyour internet settings.=========NON-ROOT FUCTIONALITYIf you install this on a non-rooted phone, please understandthat some people are reporting in the market that it breaks theirWiFi.Unfortunately these people report the problem in the market yetdon't get in touch with us so there's no way to resolve it. As aresult, please consider the non-root functionality "beta" statusand install on your device at your own risk.
