About DNS forwarder
"Change" DNS server on most of popular phones with Android versions (2.2+), including Kitkat, by one click.
On Kitkat (Android 4.4), changing dns server settings is not allowed by system. DNS Forwarder can work as a workaround. It does not modify system setting, just bypasses local dns server settings by forwarding dns queries to other configured server.
It works on rooted phones running Android 2.2 and above.
Supported dns servers:
8.8.8.8 (Google)
8.8.4.4 (Google)

Other customized dns servers
How to use:
1) choose a DNS server from list. Also you can set up customized dns server. By default Google dns server 8.8.8.8 is configured.
2) Check "Enable Forwarder" box
DNS forwarder will start a service to serve DNS queries (UDP). To stop it, just uncheck "Enable forwarder".
New feature added on 1.4:
* Auto forward on boot
I'd like to make it as simple/handy as possible. Maybe add auto forwarding and more dns servers later. If there is any questions or requests, please send me an email. Thanks.
And there is also a paid version.

Great work! It would be even more great if there's an option to auto start this on boot. Do you think you can incorporate dnscrypt on this app? I'd happily pay for that. :)

Not only does it not work, but turning it on in the app turns it off in the notification bar and turning it off in the app turns it on in the notifications. How can one make such an elementary mistake and release the app?

Works just fine :) would love to set a DNS1 and alternative DNS2 and also add profiles.

Only 1 dns active is risky. If the dns down, most user don't know why can't access the net. Better to allow multiple dns as backup. Majority of the dns providers give minimum 2 addresses. I prefer 3 if possible.

Full screen pop up ads shows up every time I opened the app. I feel that this is a bit too much. You can place a smaller sized ad at the empty space below the About section of the app. That would make it much more manageable. As for the UI, it would be great if you can update the app in accordance to the Material Design guidelines.

Needs a secondary DNS as well. Also an option to remove the taskbar icon and add custom servers would be nice. I would happily pay for this if a paid version were available with both primary and secondary DNS options.
