Blokada seems to be very similar to DNS66, and is more actively maintained. Any reason to prefer DNS66?

Blokada doesn't DoH or DoT the last time I checked, but they have added a wireguard-based paid VPN service, which is nice.

Intra [0] can DoH (but no on-device custom blocklists) and Nebulo [1] can DoH and DoT (with on-device blocklists). Personally, I see better latencies with DoH.

[0] https://getintra.org + adguard-dns or nextdns

[1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frostnerd.... + adguard-dns or nextdns or hostfiles

For those unfamiliar with the acronyms.

DoH = DNS over HTTPS

DoT = DNS over TLS

Very useful apps!

No, I've never heard of blokada. Thanks for the tip.

The blokada in play store doesn't block ads. Get it from their store.

Also agressive power management from phone makers close them.

There is an aggressive stayalive option. :)

Please details. I've set certain apps to have no power restrictions. Yet they get shutdown.

Thanks. Think I found it.
