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!
