Which tool is described as a DNS proxy on Android to access IP addresses that are beyond the firewalls?

• A. Proxy Manager
• B. Shadowsocks
• C. ProxyDroid
• D. CyberGhost VPN

Answer: (C)

Handling DNS requests through a proxy lets a device resolve names and connect to IPs that are otherwise blocked by the local network. ProxyDroid is designed for Android to route all app traffic through a chosen proxy and, crucially, it supports DNS proxying. This means DNS lookups can be sent to a remote proxy server, allowing access to IP addresses beyond the firewall as the resolution and traffic travel through the proxy.

Shadowsocks is a strong proxy for bypassing censorship and encrypting traffic, but it’s not primarily defined as a DNS proxy. CyberGhost VPN provides a VPN tunnel for all traffic, including DNS, rather than offering a distinct DNS proxy feature. Proxy Manager is a general proxy-management tool and doesn’t emphasize DNS proxying in the same way.

So, ProxyDroid best fits the description of a DNS proxy on Android used to access IPs beyond the firewall.
