Time to Rethink(DNS)!

Ever wondered how many devices your mobile phone is talking to while you're not talking to anyone?

Project site: https://rethinkdns.com/

This is the home page of application, here you can access the main views like DNS, Proxy, Firewall, Apps and Logs. Logs I like the most, it's good to see live updation of queries and requests made by my device.

In DNS View, you'll get this list of checkboxes which tells what URLs to block or not. They have provided a good categorization of sections. Just check the blocklists you want to apply and click on APPLY button.

Here, the Firewall view gives the more indepth control over network, you can checkout the IP addresses to block.

In Proxy section you can add your Wiregaurd settings, it is a bit advanced too. But complete privacy you'll get after doing advance things.

My favourite part, the logs, here you can see how many requests and IP addresses are being talked too. If you think you want to block the app, read on.

The apps section in main view is where you can block the apps to access the outer world. If calculator are having permission to use location and connect to internet, you should consider Rethinking the usage of such apps.

You can download the app from Playstore(Not recommended) and FDroid(best choice) and enjoy the features of RethinkDNS.

Thank you for reading!
