personalDNSfilter is a DNS filter proxy written in Java.
It hooks into the domain name (DNS) resolution and returns the loopback address for filtered hosts.
It supports secure DNS via DOH (DNS over HTTPS) and DOT (DNS over TLS)! Available for Java enabled devices including Android (with and without VPN)!
See OpenVPN for personalDNSfilter in case you want to run personalDNSfilter on Android in combination with a real remote VPN!
The main memory usage is very low, you can filter with millions of hosts, but memory usage will only be few MB!

• It can be used for filtering ads and other unwished hosts based on a host list – Thus it is a good AdBlock alternative
• On Android devices (Android 4.2 an newer) it can be used as effective ad, malware and tracking server filter without root access!
• It works with any upstream DNS server – filtering is completely local – no phoning home or such things!
• See dnsfilter.conf file for information on how to configure the hosts filtering
• personalDNSfilter is preconfigured with the ad host filterlists from pgl.yoyo.org, adaway.org, energized.pro and Steven Black
• Feel free to add additional host filter lists of your choice

• Tested on Raspberry Pi
