To make it short: a DNS server listen and give you the corresponding IP address of your website request, and its domain name (forum.xda-developers.com for example).
For the long version a little reading is necessary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System
Forward all mobile data via an custom DNS provider.
Please note that your web provider can purely block all requests if you use customs DNS servers address. I can't do anything for that.
Please note that you can only use one group at a time, e.g. Secured, otherwise the data will be overwritten.
- An android device (something tells me if you're here it's because you have one..)
- Magisk installed (v17+ at least)
- five minutes of your free-times (and a little piece of your brain (just in case))
Termux (root):
First execute su
to be logged in as root.

Go to https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ and run the standard test. now you should see something about the dns you have as "Hostname" or "ISP
