Adblock Plus is open source ad blocker. They now have an Android version that works like a local DNS filter from what I understand.
Maybe it could be used as a base for an Android Dot-Bit DNS redirector.

As of today I know of no proper way to use .bit on Android.
Idea: Dot-Bit Android App based on AdblockPlus?

Good question. I didn't thought about this because I don't use Android very much but many people use it dayly.phelix wrote:Adblock Plus is open source ad blocker. They now have an Android version that works like a local DNS filter from what I understand.

As I see Adblock plus can only filter or block. How should be redirected with a filter list ?
Foxyproxy doesn't exist on Android.
But what about Orbot ?
If can resolve tor domains it must be just a question of configuration to resolve .bit domains also.

Re: Idea: Dot-Bit Android App based on AdblockPlus?
That's a very interesting idea! I don't know how ABP works, to be honest, but it sounds like a start. Regarding Orbot (which I use myself and it works very well): It works by utilising the Android kernel's iptables, which (from what I understand) can be used to redirect networking of the whole system or selected processes, so that Orbot is allowed to tamper with the traffic before it hits the real network. This requires root privileges, though (which I have on my phone, but which isn't the case for most users).virtual_master wrote:Good question.

I've already some very limited experience developing on Android, but not yet any "system-related" things (mostly playing around with the camera and sensors a bit). I might give it a try, though, if others agree that it could be worthwhile to work on it. (And phelix doesn't want to play around himself. )

Well, it is a starting point? Querying the dns server should be relatively easy.virtual_master wrote:Good question.

Just wanted to throw out the idea. The strategy of modifying existing software for Namecoin worked quite well so far: Convergence for TLS, Acrylic, Polipo, .... Orbot?
No, I'm busy with not working on the file signatures (Got a new idea for a simple but secure variant to start with, though).domob wrote:That's a very interesting idea!

Proxydroid seems to be proxy management tool similar with foxyproxy but also needs rooting.
Tried GAE proxy also but has more complex configurations only with rooting.

DNSMASQ !!!
Anybody experienced in using dnsmasq? I use Android Terminal Emulator quite a lot (as part of my indispensable Emacs For Android; no rooting required), and learned that there is this powerful dnsmasq tool on every Android device. comes up with a list of 96 command line options. In addition to this, it can make use of dnsmasq.conf, resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, and Lua scripts.
Come on, folks, there must be a way of making this beast work for us

This sounds like it might be possible:

Re: Idea: Dot-Bit Android App based on AdblockPlus?
I found something interesting but still didn't tried:
https://gitorious.org/retroshare
an Android interface for Retroshare.
http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/forum ... ?f=8&t=764
If Retroshare is running on Android without root maybe can be used to connect to .bit domains.
How ? Installing Retroshare on a server and connecting with namecoind.
The Android Retroshare would connect to the server Retroshare and solve the DNS or bring the proxied content from .bit domains.
This method could be used of course on PCs also and would be easier than other actual methods.(namecoind is not required by the client)
However solving the server side could be tricky.
