Shark Masq [ROOT]

A DNSMasq frontend UI for Android devices.

[WILL ONLY WORK WITH ROOTED DEVICES]


Shark Masq allows you to have a caching DNS server on your device.

This provides increased security by letting you select the DNS server of
your choice for a given URL while blocking other, selected URLs.

A slightly faster Internet browsing speed is an added benefit of caching
DNS directly on the device, as the URL request will happen within the device
itself.

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."
