[Unbound-users] Unbound Android port

[Marek Sebera]

Hello list,

I’d like to continue in discussion I’ve started here more than 1 year ago.

I was finally able to give it some time, and successfully cross-compiled Unbound DNS in version, and I’ve documented and automated the process a bit, you can see here:
https://github.com/smarek/android-unbound-dns

So now the real question is, is there still demand for securing Android using Unbound DNS resolver, or did I made this for no one?

Final idea is to have Unbound Android application which will start the DNS service on unprivileged port (such as 5353) and will be used as optional DNS resolver for masses.
Or, having the installer package, will replace default Android resolver, either through IPTables (re-routing all 53 traffic through unbound on 5353) or modifying actual ROM.

Which effectively means, we won’t have to have ROOTed device to run the resolver and option we’ll be able to set it in WIFI/Cell-APN/Proxy/VPN settings.

Best Regards
Marek Sebera
