Have some statistic/log view in the app somewhere about dns66

[julian-klode]

Optimally, the statistics screen has some summary statistics (how many ads blocked, etc.) and a tail of the last requests and their actions:

Rejected request from
Allowed request from

This needs to be limited though - like maybe show the last 128 requests or so. And it needs to be as efficient as possible - both in space and power consumption.

Perhaps an option to enable statistics which would be shown in the pull down in the future.

Will this be opt-in and or have a toggle off switch?

[julian-klode]

@f1vefour @z751 It's not going to be optional. But maybe I was not clear, this is not a form of remote statistics tracking:

The idea is to have a few variables in the code storing how much was blocked and so on, and an activity where you can look at that (and export it if you want to share it).

You know, so you can see "oh, it blocked 5% of my hosts today, how nice".

Privacy is and will be my topmost concern for this project. The app does not, and will not, share any data with anyone or anything, including me, unless you tell it to do so (that is, press an export button and share it via email; or say, "Yes" if a notification tells you something weird happens and asks you if you want to provide a log).

[julian-klode]

Commit b5474c3 adds a menu item "Logcat" to generate a logcat which can be send via email, stored in files or whatever. This contains packets, so it's also useful to figure out which domains to (un-)block.

Have you also considered adding a kind of (per-)app DNS log activity (where you can (un-)block certain hosts the app requested)? (Of course, this feature will be off by default. User can enable and disable it as needed)

I didn't see anything quite like that listed here, so forgive me if that is already your intention. :)

And thanks for your app, it's really helpful. :) If I knew Android better, I'd help you in developing. :)

Edit: I do presume that is probably your intention now though considering your other comment

[misterbenj34]

Any news about this feature ? We're a lot of insterested people about this ! ;)

Didn't read through but I was about to make an issue:

The current one exports the whole DNS66 logcat for the current session.
Do you have plans to implement a simplier logcat (with a toggle or something)?

Format like this:
[hh:mm:ss] - [Blocked/Allowed] - [domain]
