Nebulo - DNS Changer for DNS o

About this app

When navigating to a website known by it's name, say example.com, your device ask specific servers - DNS servers - how to address the website. DNS is an old protocol which, except for smaller changes, hasn't been touched since its creation in 1987. Naturally the Internet changed a lot in this time, rendering the protocol outdated in some of its core aspects.

This app tackles one of the bigger problems with DNS: Encryption.
Whilst nearly all traffic on the Internet is encrypted now, DNS requests (i.e. questions for a names address) and the response aren't. This enables attackers to intercept, read and modify your requests.

Nebulo is a DNS changer which implements DNS-over-HTTPs and DNS-over-TLS and DoH3 to safely send your DNS requests to the target server. This way only you and the DNS server are able to read the requests you are sending.

Core features:
- Configure the app once and then forget about it. After initial configuration it works fully autonomous
- No ads and no tracking
- Custom servers can be used
- Low battery consumption

This app is open source. The source code can be accessed from within the app.

Ratings and reviews

After looking at the Intra privacy policy I decided to try and find another app that serves the same purpose. That's when I stumbled upon Nebulo and I haven't looked back. You can use both DoH and DoT and switch between them easily. The query log and advanced settings are a bonus. All around great app and I recommend it to all my friends.

This is a great app. very intuitive and lots of useful options. It does use a little more battery power but that's to be expected. Also I noticed on two different phones that it could fail to connect occasionally when it had been used for some days. Turning it off made the connection again. Clearing the app data and re-applying my settings seemed to fix it. If I notice this again, I'll do some checks to try and diagnose the problem.

Connections not long term stable. You set it up and it's works well for a while. Then it stops. Phone size connected but no data transmission. This can be when you are at home and the phone has not moved position. So regrettably I will be deleting app. Seems like a gift idea but I'm not technically at a level to try and debug

What's new

This is a stability update which fixes a few bugs and crashes.
