Where Does DNS66 Store Hosts and Settings?
Where DNS66 keeps hosts files, allowlists and settings on Android for backup and full moves.
Last updated
DNS66 keeps hosts sources, custom rules and VPN settings in app private storage on Android. Blocklists refresh from their URLs; only customs and options need moving between phones you own today, without exceptions.
Back up before ROM flashes; private data dies with wipes. The VPN slot needs re-granting on every new install regardless of copies. Refresh sources after restoring so stale blocks update on each phone.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move DNS66 to a new phone?
Copy the app data with device backup, then verify hosts on the new phone. Blocklists refresh from sources while customs need the export. Reinstalls without a backup wipe custom rules.
Where are DNS66 blocklists stored?
Open DNS66 hosts tab and read the enabled sources. Stock lists update from their URLs on refresh. Custom entries travel only through backup or manual re-adding.
