+====== Rethink DNS + Firewall ======
+
+[[https://rethinkdns.com/app|Rethink DNS + Firewall]] is the easiest way to monitor app activity, circumvent Internet censorship, block ads and trackers on your Android device.
+
+\\
+===== Download and install apk =====
+
+Install RethinkDNS via [[en:phone:apps:f-droid|F-Droid]] - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.celzero.bravedns/.
+
+\\
+===== Configuration =====
+
+These are just a few tips.\\
+You will probably have to adjust other settings for your environment anyway.
+
+\\
+==== Rethink ====
+
+\\
+=== DNS ===
+
+You can choose between many options.\\
+Either use [[/en/server/services/dnscrypt|our DNScrypt server]] or any other DNScrypt server you like. DoH, DoT, ODoH and Rethinks-DNS-Server itself are also available. Even tor and SOCKS5 are included.\\
+Also possible your [[/en/server/services/wireguard|own Wireguard server]] in combination with [[/en/server/services/adguardhome|your AdGuard Home server]].
+
+\\
+=== Firewall ===
+
+Enable at least **//Block newly installed apps by default//** under **Configure** -> **Firewall** -> **Universall firewall rules**.
+
+\\
+==== Android ====
+
+After the first start, it is important to set RethinkDNS as the main and only VPN connection in your Android system.\\
+For that, got to **Settings** -> **Network & Internet** -> **VPN** ->  **Rethinks "Settings Symbol"** -> and enable both **Always-on VPN** and **Block connections without VPN**.
+
+\\
+===== Good to know =====
+
+  * **KDE-connect** only works if the “**Do not router Private IPs**” option is activated. This only works if you have not activated the option “**Block connections without VPN**” in your Android settings under “**Always-on VPN**”.
+  * **Be careful** if Rethink asks you again to allow or continue to block certain applications. Especially if it's just a number like 1021. It might be the case that you are allowing a bunch of applications to access the internet. Which you probably want to block! So check the number twice just in case.
+  * If you need to use an **application that involves trackers**, simply use the “**Isolate Firewall**” option. Start the application and only give IPS/domains access to the Internet so that this application can run but keep the trackers still blocked.
+
+\\
+===== Example with and without RethinkDNS =====
+
+Just a simple overview of how many connections happen before and after setting up RethinkDNS + Firewall.\\
+If you want to check it with your device, just use [[/en/extras/device_inspections|our "Device Inspections" tutorial]].
