What options exist today to block ads on chrome on Android rooted or not rooted? I'm not sure if any of those hosts modifying apps are kept up to date for root anymore. I could change DNS to something like noad zone but they track your IP and lookups anyway and in the DNS model you have no control over it on each site
Bump
I am on android 7.1 and I was wondering if there's an app that changes my dns but doesn't change IP? My dns keeps leaking and I need to change my dns so I can access US media services but I am having problems doing that right now, would really appreciate some help with this.
Anyone? would really appreciate some suggestions
Hi guys.
I'm new to pocophone F1. Coming from a galaxy note 3 with aosp pie rom, i found that i cannot use private dns on pocophone miui 10 pie rom. Several articles on the net said it was removed from miui pie rom. The truth is it was hidden deep within miui 10.
Here's how to access it:
1. Install quick shortcut maker from playstore. Here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
2. Open quick shortcut maker and then scroll to settings. Click on it and then find com.android.settings.Settings$NetworkDashboardActivity (also easier to find it by typing "mor" on search bar. Click on it and then choose try, it will go to network and internet settings where you now can set private DNS there. You can create a shortcut for later use after that.
Thanks. Any code/keyword to enable WiFi sharing (e.g. share WiFi from hotspot using phone with no mobile phone signal)- it is a feature in pixel but not available in miui

Good finding!!!
If you want to use the 1.1.1.1 private DNS from CloudFlare, you can just get the 1.1.1.1 app which does it for you

It's not the same mate. Private dns in pie use DNS over TLS which is encrypted and more secure. Also you can use adguard dns in private dns to block ads so you don't need to use any adblocker app or even root your device to block ads system wide. To use adguard dns just put dns.adguard.com to that private dns.

Yeah that is true. Its a shame that MIUI doesnt allow you to set the private DNS settings. Im on crdroid so I can set the dns without any issues. Hopefully they patch it in

It seems to work fine for me. I did not enable the setting in developer option. Took out my sim card and then connect to other phone, check from other phone and confirmed the internet is working fine on on both phones.
The third icon from your screen shot is missing on my pocophone, I'll consider factory reset

Private DNS on setting on any PIE AOSP or any PIE Roms is systemwide.
The app itself only the application is affected and by using vpn.
The app is useless if you have the settings available on your device.
On xiaomi.eu when i press DNS the settings app crashes so i cannot set it.
Thanks, works fine here. But seems like I can't connect to internet when using CloudFare dns so I changed to Adguard and it works fine. Both wifi and data has no connection after connecting to CloudFare dns. Btw good sharing!
I'm on crDroid so the private DNS settings work fine for me I've attached a screenshot of the settings I'm using, might be helpful if that menu is available on your ROM
Forgot to attach

That's cause it's cloudflare not cloudfare.

Yeah, my bad. Forgot the 'l'. Like missing a semicolon in a coding ?
Hi,
OnePlus is known for adding 8.8.8.8 (Google) as a secondary DNS if the network provides only one DNS server with DHCP lease.
Is there any method to stop this unwanted behaviour? Maybe a patch for OOS? It's really annoying.
My device is rooted. As I can't make changes to all the networks I'm using, I'd prefer a OOS patch (NOT an additional firewall/port filter).
I already explored the system partition and searched for 8.8.8.8 which is referenced by a few apk. I'm not familiar with Android internals such as network interfaces and scripts.
Hallo .
I really don't like miui therefor many ads in system apps so i try alot of method to stop it but i need to make system stable and Bootloader locked so i think using private dns is the best way to block ads .
i think the best way is to use adgraud dns
so try to change private dns to : dns.adguard.com
Thanks for Adguard for Free Public DNS

I would recommend NextDNS, it has ossibilty for fine grained tuning of your DNS settings...
NextDNS
The new firewall for the modern Internet
nextdns.io
to be fair also consider these alternatives:
DeCloudUs DNS

Rethink DNS
