========================================================== ===


features:

1,Use Hosts File on android devices with out root.So that can custom domain name
resolution records.
2,support wildcard DNS records.for example:

127.0.0.1 a.com  |
127.0.0.1 b.a.com  | => 127.0.0.1 .a.com
127.0.0.1 c.b.a.com |

3,full support ipv6 network , support change AAAA (Ipv6 Address) DNS records. example:

::  b.com  
2001:A124::6666 c.com
fc00:aaaa:bbbb:cccc:1111:2222:3333:1234  www.d.com
fe80::2 c.b.a.com

4,maybe more power saving when the records too much,because can use wildcard DNS records. such as google domain, only need one record ".google.com " that can represents all the subdomains.

Usage:

1,make the hosts file by self or get from Internet.
2,put the file into your phone anywhere you can choose or accessible.
3,start app. click the blue button where at the bottom of the scree , then select the hosts file which you make or get from Internet.
4, click the big white button which like a switch for running and the white button will turn green.
5,enjoy it!

Tips:
The app can free down from github.
https://github.com/x-falcon/Virtual-Hosts/releases/download/2.0.3/app-Github-release.apk

Come a long way from support and settings. BUT Only with the given NEW info on flag change in chrome(flag should be in description or a web site doc with instructions and FAQ). Some other issue with app on phone reboot... Doesn't auto turn on(but manul flip switch fixes...) even with setting to keep enabled. On Android 10 now and while it works well, app doesn't work well from fresh install.

This seemed like a good app, and I even donated. It was working until recently. Now, it has stopped working all together. Not working on pixel 3, Android 10. Ads are showing in apps, Bing browser.. every where.

Worked very well for at least a year. After the February 2020 security update on my lg v35 Android 9 phone, it seems to time out after a few minutes of inactivity and needs to be stopped and restarted to allow connections again. Also the async DNS flag was discontinued in chrome :(
