I’ve been using AdGuard’s DNS resolver on my Android phone for a couple of months, and I’m pretty satisfied with it.

The idea is that it filters out ad networks at the DNS level, so there is no need to root the phone (nor to install any app). You just put dns.adguard-dns.com in your “private DNS” settings and that’s it.

Recently, though, I’ve seen a couple of people around here mentioning how Adguard is not trustworthy, or “kinda shady”. What’s your take on them? Their privacy policy seems OK to me, but I’d be interested to know more about them.

    Ok. Either way, RethinkDNS doesn’t need to be self hosted either, you just get a custom DNS url that you can enter anywhere (doesn’t even need the app). So it’s up to preference what works for you.

      Same thing with adguard-DNS: you can use their online service or download and install on your own server :opensource stuff Bitwarden password manager style.
