Hi all,
I have been working on a new app for the last 6 months or so but the concept has been on my mind for over a year.
Initially it was going to be for both Firetv & Android TV devices but with the Amazon ADB block changes, the app will only be for Android TV Devices.
What is it ?
The app will allow your Android TV device to use Encrypted DNS (DNS over TLS)
What are the benefits of Encrypted DNS?
As the name implies, all your DNS requests will now be encrypted which means your ISP can’t see what you are requesting. It also means, any DNS blocks from your ISP will also be removed.
How will this improve my cord cutting life ?
The main benefit for us cord cutters is that we can use ad-blocking encrypted DNS servers, this means any streaming app that was previously showing adverts will now become ad-free 
.
Any app on your streaming device that make a request to load an advert will be blocked by the encrypted DNS.
How does this compare to Blokada or another ad-blocking app ?
Blokada uses a virtual vpn connection to block ads. This means if the app is terminated, then you lose the ad-blocking functionality. It also means that you can’t run a VPN whilst using Blokada. My app does not have these limitations and once you have set the encrypted DNS server, you don’t need to keep my app running.
What does this app look like?
The app will have a familiar interface. You will just need to make an ADB connection (once you have enabled USB or Network debugging). You can then choose an Encrypted DNS server from a predefined list or you can manually enter one in. Click on Start and your device will now start using the encrypted DNS server.
How can I get it ?
Right now, I am looking for a few testers to help test the functionality of the app. I’ve personally tested it on my Onn 4K pro and using apps like FilmPlus, CinemaHD. Those apps were showing a banner advert when the links were loading and a big fat video advert when you back out of a movie. Once I enabled encrypted DNS - I didn’t see any of those adverts . If have an an Android TV device and can help me test the new app, please email me on tdoctoruk at gmail. I only need about 5 - 10 people.
How much will this app cost?
The app will cost $1.99 and it will be a lifetime license for unlimited devices. Even if you have 10 different Android TV devices, you can buy the app once and your license will cover all devices. You will get unlimited lifetime upgrades.
Are you allowed to create posts like this ?
I did ask for permission first and @Miki graciously obliged 
Update 1 since sharing my app
Testers have confirmed my app successfully blocks adverts in Rumble. Also reports of reduced buffering in IPTV APPS (if ISP’s were previously throttling connections, then that would be removed by using encrypted DNS)
Update 14th September
I have uploaded a new version with some minor bugfixes. You will need to uninstall the old version and install the new one. The new one has the version 1.0.1. This new version will expire on the 29th Sept.
