This is a secure dns and adblocker that has evolved into a great privacy app. Yesterday i noticed it has added support for Wireguard and TOR as well as proxy. The app comes with a customizable firewall. It means you can have secure dns combined with vpn/proxy and firewall in one app.

P.S: I’m not the developer.

Another app I use sometimes (Time Squared) got a similar UI update recently and I hate it. Used to be a simple app that just worked. Now it takes about 5 seconds just to load, switching to another menu takes about a second. These fancy web frameworks need to get some rest.

Note that blokada used to generate unique IDs for users idk about now tho. rethinkDNS has so many good feature I didn’t fins elsewhere. Custom DNS (dnscrypt+option to use custom servers and relays) and block bypass, filter lists (on device or built in into rethinkDNS DNS service), wiregaurd proxy for specific apps of choice and much more. Give it a try.

I switched, it’s definitely more complicated but it got much more options. Blokada has much more simple UI.

Nope, independent project with a confusing name, hence the rebranding.
