About Rethink DNS

Rethink combines a per-app firewall, an encrypted DNS resolver supporting DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS and Oblivious DNS, and configurable blocklists with more than a hundred and ninety categories, plus WireGuard support. Everything runs on the device through one VPN slot.

Strengths

  • Firewall, encrypted DNS and blocklists in one app with detailed logs
  • Supports WireGuard alongside its own filtering

Limitations

  • Uses the VPN slot, though it can proxy a WireGuard tunnel through itself
  • The amount of configuration is daunting at first
