You open a website to read something, and suddenly you're dealing with pop-ups, banners, and ads everywhere. Even apps connect to advertising and tracking services in the background, consuming data you could have used for something else.
That's why I built TunGuard DNS a free public DNS resolver that blocks many ads, trackers, and known malicious domains before your device connects to them.
How does it work?
TunGuard DNS checks domain requests against filtering rules and blocklists. If a domain matches a blocking rule, the resolver prevents it from resolving normally, helping reduce unwanted ads, tracking, and malicious connections.
It also supports encrypted DNS to protect queries in transit between your device and the resolver.
How to set it up on Android
No app installation or account is required.
1. Open your phone's Settings.
2. Search for Private DNS. Alternatively, look under Network & internet or Connections.
3. Select Private DNS provider hostname.
4. Enter "tundns.zone.id"
5. Tap Save.
That's it! Your phone will now use TunGuard DNS when the encrypted connection is available. Ads and trackers covered by its filtering rules may be blocked across supported apps and browsers.
More than just Android
You can also configure compatible browsers, computers, and routers to use TunGuard DNS.
- DNS-over-HTTPS: https://tundns.zone.id/dns-query
- DNS-over-TLS: "tundns.zone.id" (port 853)
Already using TunGuard VPN? Your server administrator can also enable DNS filtering for a policy group, allowing assigned devices to use filtered DNS automatically when the VPN and routing are configured correctly.
Will it block every ad?
No. Some ads share domains with legitimate content, so DNS filtering cannot block everything. Encrypted DNS protects queries in transit, but it does not make you completely anonymous.
The goal is simple: less advertising noise, fewer unwanted connections, and more control over your network.
