Rethink DNS has such a firewall. It the best I have seen for Android.

In it’s heavy filter list, it uses my hosts as well. :slight_smile:

No way! How’d you do that? And, yes, I’m a noob with this type of thing.

EDIT: I think I found it. Went into the Configure menu > DNS > On-device blocklists and then downloaded the list.

I always think the developers of the OS should make internet access a runtime (dangerous) permission (just as notification is), so we wouldn’t need these firewall apps.
