RFE: use custom hosts file as a blocklist #113

Closed lsm5 closed 11 months ago

lsm5 commented 2 years ago

Feature request

Description

In addition to the ability to use a custom DNS, it would be nice if the app allowed me to load a custom hosts file for blocking additional hosts not blocked by DNS/antitracker. Would be especially desirable for unrooted devices where I can't use a separate DNS / firewall app if I'm already using IVPN.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally a field in settings which takes a path to a text file that is either compatible with /etc/hosts or with dnscrypt-proxy.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Nothing compatible with IVPN on unrooted devices AFAIK.

even more amazing if DNS options like dnscrypt (+ anonymized with relays) could be enabled as in the rethinkdns app.

Like I mentioned here, users are searching for these features, which in my personal honest opinion would be awesome to have. Firewall, and you could select which apps to not have internet, similar to Netguard app. https://github.com/ProtonVPN/android-app/issues/94#issuecomment-1422819290

I would like to be able to edit the hosts file with IVPN. There is this app which is available on F-Droid that allows this but has not been maintained in a few years and it does the job, but to use this app, I need to disable IVPN and disable the VPN settings for IVPN.

Would be great if editing the host was a built in feature on IVPN for android and iOS.

This feature is not planned at the moment.
