tried clearing cache as it was updating databases after adjusting oom score just trying to figure it out (though it works great with opendns and the likes) - still got stuck at 13xxx database , but looked and there were tons of custom options ( apparently tons more just got stuck) - thought you meant ram or internal though didnt ram was only that seemed possible. of course still not certain bout that - but am SUPERSTOKED !! there are 2 custom options outta Raleighwood, the WOLFPACK r going to the sweet 16 and DNSQACHE is working custom style again with newer os ! gonna nandroid then update databases again to see if can get passed 13432 or whatever. if needed can provide logcat but am very happy. will donate again soon esse - you definitely deserve laudable loot !

-thank you again TD !

They have thought of support "headers" with respect to the proxy?
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:
yes have you opened the app ?

Hi I installed the latest version but I still can't use custom dns, when I try to update dns provides I get FC whist fetching providers.
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:
is it latest version few posts back in thread or op ? though it will get stuck updating , when u reopen app there is a giant list of choices and is working with the latest version-just have to wait a few seconds for it to open-at least, that's what am experiencing. don't remember if have yet, but gonna donate today.
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
The one in the op sorry, I must have missed the one a few pages back I'll download that thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:
word up !

reckon TD hasn't put it in the op bc its a temp holdover version for folks while he's in the kitchen , but am stoked that there are so many local options (and it couldn't complete updating). it may look stuck but when it does just open it up and put your decision making cap on bc DnsQache provides many options.

donated today TD - thank you again for this wonderful addition to our devices !
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
Well, crap. It should not hang (though will take a while 'til I get the new UI out). At the end of the update, it takes a bit to reindex the database, so hang with it.

I'm working on it -- promises. hoping for release this weekend. It updates only the country you select in the custom settings section, so dramatically faster.

Hang in all, fix works, just have a few little DB issues to clean up.
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:
word up thank you and it def works am happy to have for sure thank you !
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:
how's it going !

gonna link this in recently reinvigorated OKJ thread, es Exit-Only is back and though dnsmaq is a component, the Operation Killjoy and DnsQache are the deal and to be sure some OKJ folks unaware or ones introduced it to many versions ago would be stoked to know about this great creation of yours TD !

was thinking either go ahead and share, or wait if u r dotting the i's and crossing the t's on the improvements you were talking about (though it works like a boss as is)

giving thanks TD for DnsQache!
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
Crap. I've been so busy I've totally let this all go. I just use DnsQache and never even think about it, it is seriously stable.

With that said, I'll dig in again. Give me a few to hack back into the code.
[Android Apps and Games] ghostENVY:
I'm on s6 Edge on lollipop . Using the apk couple of pages back. the application just downloads updated but eventually gets stuck at the 64k mark.
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
Still worth the effort? Or not?

All,

I've been in and out of updating this app -- I do use it still, but have really (hontestly) not spent a lot of time (mostly too busy at work) on fixing bugs in my recent updates. I'd need to fix those before uploading anything.

Is anyone thinking this app is still worth effort? I'm coming into a less burdensome time at work for a short while so possibly I could update.

Let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] leonardoroza:

lemme know if you got that - don't have much right now, hopefully will change this weekend, but in honor a great friend that passed on who always said look out for 17 in a good way (many cool things have happened with that), and so its a decent amount though know it aint much (though you deserve way more) enjoy the 17 sent ! DNSQache is a requirement and your creation is my jam ! hopefully it went to correct place.

superstoked about what's in the DNSQache woodshed TD ! High-kicks to everyone and giving thanks !

btw...just thought that wanna make a tshirt that says-

DNSQache green logo on the front

and the word : only

on the back
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
What's in the woodshed is a new service I'm putting up on Google Apps, which will feed DnsQache with the world-wide DNS servers. So, we don't need to depend on external sites for that any more. Second, since that service can deliver only what's necessary, when necessary (e.g., the sites for the US, or Russia, or China or wherever), I can rid the app of the update functionality since it can just ask the service when necessary (and fall back to locally cached info if the Internet is not reachable at the time).

The UI gets a slight upgrade in that the list of DNS servers in the custom settings is nicer -- shows columns and info about the sites for easier picking.

Anyway -- the google apps service is just about done and working. :) Having my own DNS name server delivery service will make life a lot easier down the road.
[Android Apps and Games] starcallr:
looks like you're making a good thing even better!
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:

Drony with DNSQuache

Hi,

Just looking if it would be possible to use it in Drony.

With VPN mode Drony intercepts all flow, also dns requests. So far just forwards to valid dns and wait for response.

But it could use DNSQuache, even over proxy with authentication. Can anyone give me some clues how to start with integration in Drony?

Is it even possible to do it?
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:
super-excited!
[Android Apps and Games] robtmsstt1:

Well, I have to find time is the issue. I have taken a very expansive role at our company (VMware, Inc.) and it is rather time consuming.

Let's not let this die -- there are too many requests to me directly to keep it alive. I just can't promise an update all too soon, but I'll try to reset things Monday (a holiday for me).

I actually like and use this app myself, so in the end, I'm one of those that wants to keep it. Time is just not on my side.

it can work as http header handler (like evozy "http injector", "kpn tunnel", "eproxy") to redirect the device's traffic to a ssh tunel?
[Android Apps and Games] chacox:
hello, does this app work with Nougat?
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
This thread is somewhat old, though one day I might update the app (have not in quite a while).

If it loads and you are rooted, it should work. There are very few 'android level' issues in the app, but I'll be interested in the results you get.
[Android Apps and Games] chacox:
I used it on CM13 wihtout any problem till a week ago that I recently upgraded to lineageOS 14.1 and It does not work anymore.

it never starts listning on interface.

why did you stop supporting this app? i could notice good performce with the dnscache that android does not seem to have natively, it is a good app. I only used it for dns caching, not http proxy.
[Android Apps and Games] Titchener17:
pleas do will pay you sir. your app is so important to me that may have to restore even if mine are erased and have to start from square one which would be a LOT of work. cant get the custom to update or tell if it's working. seems like it is but usually can populate and choose. now it crashes when updating. pleas contact or fix sir am broke rt now and will pay you - that's how much love DNSQache
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
It dawned on me what the bug was in this respect, so a very quick fix. I'll put up a new link -- just check the ChangeLog for a v0.82 version and comments therein. Once the ChangeLog post (third post) reflects the new version, the download link will already have been updated with the fixed apk.

As for DNS provides, it's really dependent on geographic proximity from you cell provider's point of presence to the DNS server(s). To get optimal performance (which arguably won't change your actually perceivable performance), you'd have to figure out the networking hops and distance between. Frankly, it's not worth it. If Google works for you, so be it -- use it. They're great servers. All of the selections are and if you really want to play, you can use totally custom servers by providing the direct IP addresses of the name servers.

Me? I generally use OpenDNS for day-to-day because they are quite good and I know they are close to my cell provider point of presence.

Ok when this app is enabled if I use WiFi hotspot my pc can't connect to my hotspot I get limited access any ideas I tried open and Google and I turned proxy on and off and I did stop and start the app every time I changed a setting
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
We'll get it figured out for you -- I use this all the time, so something is up. I need to know the following:

1) Which Device and ROM are you using;

2) I need to know what your PC got for an address from your hotspot -- if you are on windows, open a command terminal (Start, Run, and enter 'cmd' without quotes in the edit box), and then type ipconfig /all. That will tell us what your PC's DNS is set to, and also your IP address.

3) I need to know the Address range your hotspot is set for (that's usually in Advanced settings of the hotspot program you're using).

DNSQache really doesn't have anything to do with your networking, but one problem can arise in poorly written hotspot applications I'll explain later if we get there (not yet worth mentioning).

So we're going to debug for a bit -- hang on, we'll get you setup one way or another. Leave DnsQache running and turned on *before* you enable any hotspot -- DnsQache will auto-adjust itself (you'll see Toast messages now and then about it doing things) to the network as it changes from the hotspot.
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Firstly I'm using a htc one x with sense 5 android 4.2.2 viper x Rom but I might have to get back to you in the morning with the rest of the info as I'm kinda tired and I'm getting an error when turning on hotspot so that means a reboot before I can do it I'll see what happens and get back to you thank you for your time I appreciate it I'll try and do this tonight though
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
No rush. Just take your time.
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Just rebooted tried to turn hotspot on with dnsqache active and I'm still getting error will change to Google and try again

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

It seems whatever settings I try with dnsqache enabled I get an error when turning hotspot on if I disable it all is well but internet on my phone is great btw I use the HTC sense hotspot tardis built into the Rom thanks again hope this is helping
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
I loaded a couple different ROMs to see what the differences were (my day-to-day works fine). I see some ROMS blatantly killing all dnsmasq processes when starting the hotspot -- the gist is they use a dnsmasq to perform their own work, and want to be the *only* dnsmasq on the system. I can provide a fix for that, just hang in for a bit. On your ROM, I'm pretty sure that's what's happening, though I don't even want to explain you to debug that for you.

DnsMasq runs a private copy of dnsmasq for its redirection. I have, of course, many tricks to hide that from the 'killall' command taking place.

No problem. It's part of the deal working with many different ROM developers -- some take liberties, some don't. I'll update the thread tomorrow with a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Thank you glad you.cracked it as I was at a stale mate until you replied because I can't get an ip from my pc without it being connected lol btw my internet is blazing in the browser and apps like Google+ and tapatalk thanks for your time it's appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
Try version 0.83 (link updated, also check the note in the ChangeLogs). This version changes some pretty fundamental network handling, so consider it a test version, though it works well on multiple ROMs and Android versions for me. Due to the nasty nature of the ROM actions (killing off DnsQache's underlying processes), I suggest you reboot your phone just to be sure we're starting with a clean IPTABLES slate. I doubt there are lingering rules, but if it's not problem I'd really prefer to assure we're starting clean.

I'd like to know if you get a lot of 'Toast' notices from DnsQache while tethering. It will adjust the DNS settings on the phone whenever network topology changes and I've seen a couple ROMs do that a lot. DnsQache handles it, but the Toasts might get obnoxious, in which case we might want to let folks turn the messages off while tethering.

so far so good on v0.83. i've switched my dns server to google's & set the cache size to 500.i've attached logs below for your ease.

i've mentioned earlier about a tiny bug,when i tap menu→about it doesnt show nothing. & a changelog in the app would have been better.

btw i've two questions. if i set the cache size to bigger or lower values what will be the benefit or impact upon my internet? & i am using a host file which blocks 330468 addresses,will it impact on my dns caching performance? sorry for being noob! :cyclops:

[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
haha,no problem.in the end service matters actually! :)

i understand now.been playing with the settings,i found 0 is fair for me cause i dont actually do any tethering & as per your saying i noticed also that, more upper value=more ram consumption.

[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
[MENTION=4988866]tdhite[/MENTION] i think i've found a bug.i noticed that cache value setting doesn't stick.after reboot it goes to 200 always.
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
That's a good find -- I'll take a look. I have a hunch -- DnsQache keeps settings in a memory hash, but backs them up to what is called "shared preferences" in Android dev terms. I bet the two got out of sync in the changes made in v0.81 or v0.82. No prob -- updating coming later when I find the sync issue.

[MENTION=4988866]tdhite[/MENTION], I just wanted to share with you idcrisis' (original developer of CrossBreeder) thoughts & views on pdnsd vs dnsmasq www.google.com/search?q=dnsmasq+pdnsd+idcrisis+site:xda-developers.com
[Android Apps and Games] tdhite:
Hi -- looking through the thread, looks like (correctly) idcrisis dislikes the Android dnsmasq -- one modified just for that. DnsQache, however, uses a complete version (not a crippled) which is freshly compiled from the actual projects's sources (git repo here) and is quite actively developed. If you look at the directories, you'll see 'dnsqache' which is the dnsmasq program compiled just for DnsQache. The sources I'm using are from the original DnsMasq site, not Android's copy, so there's no crippling there at all.

With that said, I've used pdnsd in a number of other scenarios (laptops -- I use Arch linux as my day-to-day and actually use pdnsd on the laptop). I could easily swap DNS apps (dnsmasq -> pdnsd) in DnsMasq -- might take a look at it. One thing I've always liked about pdnsd is it allows for a nice persistent cache, which I use in certain scenarios. But not sure it's terribly useful on the phone. Have to think on that.

Thanks though -- great stuff. Pdnsd is pretty good, but so is the real dnsmasq. I might play around with sticking pdnsd in place -- it's pretty easy the way DnsQache is structured.
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Hi I wondered since you've done such a great job with dns could you please make an app for entropy as crossbreeders entropy is the best but crossbreeder messes with my Rom your dns app is awesome also does dnsqache use dnsproxy2 as I was reading on crossbreeder thread and everybody rates it thanks for your work

Hi, tdhite, i wanna to ask something about dnsmasq, etc.

I figure out how to make dnsmasq,dnrd and pdnsq work together, but i don't know if it is work properly or not...

I use manual script/custom script and excute with app android firewall (because that app make execute shell script automaticly went i make on/off network connection, but need custom rule for opened port address)

This is my binary's pid (look like running well and not conflict with other)

I test my query/my resolver in https://www.dnsleaktest.com (it is work)

I test polipo in http://127.0.0.1:8123/polipo/

Note: I redirect all tcp port on address 0.0.0.0 port 53 with rinetd for dnsmasq and pdnsd

Use net.dns1 0.0.0.0, net.dns2 127.0.0.1, net.ppp0.dns1 0.0.0.0, net.ppp0.dns2 127.0.0.1

In my case may be polipo not activate disk cache?

And i don't know if pdnsd, dnrd or dnsmasq work or not (but dns query it is work)?

My custom script

http://pastebin.com/DvtDwX0K

My log script

http://pastebin.com/gM6ZJCCm

For me, have android tablet with edge network is pain of ass for internet conectivity (but it work much better if i use that script. Without that much more pain of ass for me).

I got test several public dns sever:

For good speed:

- Google DNS

- Ultra DNS

- Open DNS (not used for several reason)

- Dyn DNS

- Level3 DNS (not used for several reason)

For Alternative public DNS (i used to to solved unknown domain):

- NameCoin P2P DNS

- OpenNIC DNS

- Open Root Server Network (ORSN)

- Name.Space DNS

For root zones :

- Use 13 server ICANN

- Use some server from Open Root Server Network (ORSN)

It will be more awesome if get dns server software advanced work for android :D

I really love this app and ive used since the initial release, but ive got a problem as of 0.83 im using afwall+ with your dnsqache app and i cant seem to make them both work together (i have allowed dnsqache in the firewall whitelist options so it wont be blocked). But when dnsqache is enabled and afwall+ is running im not able to connect to any website, If dnsqache is turned off and afwall+ is running it works flawlessy. Is there something i have to enable except dnsqache in afwall+ to make it work ?
