Description

From the listing uploaded by “eroe”.

★ DNSet *DOES NOT* require ROOT privileges to run. ★ DNSet works both on Wi-Fi and 3G. DNSet sets Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) on your device. In order to do this it creates a local VPN so you have to authorise the app once. The app quits after the VPN has been initialised, this saves space on your device's precious RAM memory. Avoiding the ISP's DNS may help in: * Bypassing restrictions on certain websites * Speeding up your browsing experience DNSet is able to start automatically at boot time. Enable the 'auto start' checkbox and a notification will appear every time you turn on your device. Just click on the notification, authorise the app et voilà, Google's DNS servers will be in use.

DNSet APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the DNSet APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4f7d22f44d84fd7953c559ad8a8803a9.
