Shark Masq [ROOT] for Android
Features:
• DNSMasq functions as a lightweight caching DNS server.
• Primary and Secondary DNS servers selection.
• Blocks URL addresses.
• Support list to prevent bogus NXDOMAIN responses.
• Select DNS servers for specified URLs.
• Network information section for active settings.
• Available for phones and tablets
• Import address lists.
• Basic Network info.
• Dark and light themes.
Note:
• For ROOTED devices only!!! (This app will not work if your device is not rooted).
• This app may cause issues with other networking software.
• Some tether apps may not function properly when Shark Masq is active.
• Some automation apps (eg. Tasker) as well as frameworks (eg. Xposed) may interfere with Shark Masq functionality and prevent it from working properly.
• Devices with low memory, small vm heap size, or with a single core can be really slow on initial setup or start up or fail completely to start.
• On slow devices initial start up can display a grey screen while waiting for root permissions.
• Installing the app on external card may cause the app to receive the boot completed message too late and not start up on boot.
• Importing lists requires creating special xml files (one for each section), see website for details.
• As of Shark Masq 2015.9 only Android v5.0 and above versions will be supported (runs on Android 4.4.4 and above).
• Some Android ROMs using SuperSU may experience shortened battery usage, CyanogenMod based ROMs do not have this issue.
• Due to a bug in Android 6.0 when accessing internal storage for the first time even if permissions are given access will fail, closing and restarting the app will restore access there-after.
• Hardware tested on devices with CyanogenMod.
• Android Nougat is not currently supported.

Note for Japanese consumers due to changes in taxation setup for Japan i can no longer afford to sell through the Play store for that country. As noted from Google ~ "A recent change to Japan Consumption Tax (JCT) regulations will impact your Google Play account. Beginning October 1, 2015, you will be responsible for determining and charging JCT for Google Play app sales to customers in Japan."

Great app!
I have a rooted Moto X pure and not later what I do, Shark Masq freezes and does not activate whenever I try to activate it. Also would like to see an option to set the local host address used (e.g. 127.0.0.1) to avoid conflicts with other apps such as DNSCrypt.
Great app!
Great app..does what it advertises. Great work!!!
Great app!
I really like this app. I've combined it with the Xposed Framework and the Intelli3G plugin mod, and it really does seem to make browsing faster. But I have one big problem. I would like the app and its' service to autostart on boot. This option isnt in the app. Can you please include this functionality in the next version? And perhaps a widget too? Is there some kind of Tasker plugin I can use to do this?

I just thought I would update my review (can't post a new one). I tried this app again as of 7-4-16. It does now properly autostart on boot but........it puts my phone into airplane mode sometimes. But worse, it locks up my device completely, forcing me to reboot. I have an LG v10 running 5.1.1, I've tried this on a clean install of a 100% stock but rooted ROM, as well as CM12.1 Same results. How can I determine the cause of this and help you fix this? Anywhere I can send you a logcat (email etc)? Thanks!
