Hello list,

I’d like to continue in discussion I’ve started here more than 1 year ago.

I was finally able to give it some time, and successfully cross-compiled 
Unbound DNS in version, and I’ve documented and automated the process a bit, 
you can see here:
https://github.com/smarek/android-unbound-dns

So now the real question is, is there still demand for securing Android using 
Unbound DNS resolver, or did I made this for no one?

Final idea is to have Unbound Android application which will start the DNS 
service on unprivileged port (such as 5353) and will be used as optional DNS 
resolver for masses.
Or, having the installer package, will replace default Android resolver, either 
through IPTables (re-routing all 53 traffic through unbound on 5353) or 
modifying actual ROM.

Which effectively means, we won’t have to have ROOTed device to run the 
resolver and option we’ll be able to set it in WIFI/Cell-APN/Proxy/VPN settings.

Best Regards
Marek Sebera
