# updns Android Setup

Use the updns DoH service with your Android device to reduce the tracking of your mobile apps and protect against DNS analysis from your Internet service provider.

## Basic Setup with Google's Jigsaw Intra App

### 1. Install the [Jigsaw Intra App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.intra) on your Android device

### 2. Change the Intra DoH Server to [https://adfree.usableprivacy.net/query](https://adfree.usableprivacy.net/query-dns)

## Recommended Additional Intra Settings

### **Verify advertising and tracker domains are filtered**

The updns service responds with `0.0.0.0` for filtered domains.

### Recommended whitelist settings for Intra on Android

Our adfree DoH server works best against tracking by mobile apps. DNS-based blocking is very coarse-grained. We therefore recommend you use browsers with blocking extensions and use our DNS service primarily to **counter mobile app tracking**. You can exclude e.g. your mobile browser from Intra:
