Aside from a database update, it can now block domains with specific patterns.

Database updates.

This version adds functionality to detect when a 'rn' has been substituted for an 'm' in hundreds of the most popular domains. For instance, it will block apple.corn. In addition, the database has been updated as well as a bug fixed. Overall, this version is faster and uses less memory.

Database updates and rules tweaks.

Hundreds of malicious domains added along with many others.

Database update and a performance boost.

Aside from updating the database, this update can dynamically analyze the domain if it is not in the database based upon a combination of various characteristics it has. To turn this off, go to the app settings and turn off Deeper Domain Analysis. Send us an email if you have any questions about it.

Performance, stability, and database updates.

Performance and database tweaks.

Thousands of badware hosts added to the internal database.

Setting a maximum length of 4 on primary domains for the single edit check that are skipped. This does not include the top level domain, for instance, com or net. It only covers the segment to the left of the top level domain.

Fixed whitelisting and updated database.

Many database additions.

Fixed settings error with adding and removing hosts to be blocked and unblocked.

This new version enhances the Stuff for both the VPN and the DNS server. It will block domains that are one edit away or a single set of transposed characters (for instance appel.com) from hundreds of the most popular domains. A single edit means a single character substituted (aople.com), a single character deleted (aple.com), or a single character inserted (appple.com). In addition to protecting you from the simple mistyping of a URL, it will also protect you from going to links in emails and websites that are purposely crafted in this manner to deceive you. It can be turned off with the Typo check in the Settings. If by some chance, you encounter a URL you need with one of these characteristics, it can be whitelisted in the Settings. And it does not affect performance - you won't notice the difference in web browsers or other applications.

Database additions.

A couple of bug fixes to the DNS Server where it could write to a bad memory location and come up with the wrong IP address for itself displayed on the main screen.

Aside from database changes, the app can operate as a DNS server. The DNS server uses the same database and like the VPN, optionally blocks ads and porn. It shares the same settings except that the VPN address does not apply to it. The VPN and DNS server cannot run at the same time, and either of them can be started automatically when the app starts. Due to restrictions iOS apps have running in the background, it cannot be a DNS server for apps running on the device since it goes to sleep when another app comes to the foreground. However, it can put older devices, like iPhone 6's that are running iOS 12, to use as DNS servers that can be used by any other devices running on the same wifi network. To run as DNS servers, the devices must remain on with the DNS app running in the foreground and should be plugged in. The device's IP address is on the screen and is the one that should be used to make it a DNS server for specific devices. They should also be provided a static IP address so other devices using it as a DNS server do not have to be changed. The static IP address to use is the one displayed on the screen.

Database updates and performance improvements.

Added database entries and changed name of app to Ad And Stuff DNS Filter.
