How to block gambling sites on Android and Samsung Galaxy
Updated
Learn how Android DNS VPN protection and supported browser address checks work together to reduce access to betting sites.
- Device-level protection reduces reliance on one browser.
- Address checking needs additional permissions on supported browsers.
- Dando’s Android app is awaiting release.
Understand the permissions
A local VPN configuration directs supported DNS requests through protection. Browser address checks are a separate feature and may require accessibility permission. Read the purpose of each permission before enabling it.
Keep protection active
After release, follow the in-app setup and check that protection is active. Restart the phone and confirm the status again. Battery restrictions and another VPN can affect background protection.
Chrome, Samsung Internet and other browsers may use different network settings. Check the documented browser support rather than assuming every connection is covered.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Android app released?
Distribution is pending. Windows and Mac protection are currently available.
Is a browser extension enough?
An extension applies only in its supported browser. Device-level DNS protection and supported address checks provide different layers.
