Android 9: Samsung Internet ignores Private DNS #73

Closed kaischmerer closed 4 years ago

kaischmerer commented 5 years ago

Android 9 supports Private DNS which can be enabled under Settings - Wi-Fi & Internet - Private DNS. With "dns-adguard.com" most advertising and tracking services are filtered. If that option is enabled Browsers should not display any ads. However, this does not apply to Samsung Internet. It seems that the browser ignores the Private DNS setting because it displays ads. Chrome, on the other hand, does not display ads if Adguard's DNS server is set to Private DNS.

Only if the DNS is manually set to 176.103.130.130 in the Wi-Fi settings of the Wi-Fi router Samsung Internet will no longer display ads. https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-dns-announcement/

I can also confirm that this is happening on a Note 9.
