DNSNet vs Virtual Host
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
DNSNet
DNSNet allows you to take more control over what internet traffic goes in and out of your device. You can download host files to block a set of known advertising or malicious host names and then create exemptions where you see fit. It works by creating a lightweight VPN service that filters your internet traffic as you use your device. If you ever have trouble with connecting to a site or using an app, you can always exempt an app from filtering or create an exception for a specific host name.
Virtual Host
Virtual Hosts app helping developers customized hosts(/system/etc/hosts) File on android devices(no root). support wildcard DNS records.For example: 127.0.0.1 a.com | 127.0.0.1 m.a.com | => 127.0.0.1 .a.com 127.0.0.1 w.m.a.com | Video Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHnsboAnm-A
