Always nice to see another coder sharing their creations  :Thmbsup:

@Youssef: Thanks for posting about this rather interesting software.
On the website at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/weblocker/
- the features of WebLocker are given as:

* Websites Blocker
* Adblock
* Anti Porn
* Ads Blocker
* Adblocker
* Adware Blocker
* Malware Blocker
* Antivirus
* Anti-DNS Leak
* Anti-Track
* Connectivity fixer
* DNS Changer
* Social Network Blocker
* Online Gambling Blocker
* Parental Controle
* work on Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 & 10)- but it seems there may be other features - for example, you mention above that:
I added a feature to manually change the DNS, then I developed a feature that can stop DNS Leaking by changing the DNS to Anon Log DNS and by including DNScrypt to encrypt the DNS Traffic.

So, I have some questions:

* Documentation: Where should I go to find full current documentation of the software please?
* DNSCrypt: I already use DNSCrypt (see: OpenDNS + DNSCrypt - Mini-Review) and would like to know about the version of DNSCrypt and any DNSCrypt management interface used in WebLocker.
* Partners: Who are the "partners" that I saw referred to on one of your project websites?

Hi IainB,
Thanks to you for taking the time to read my post, and I would be glad to answer your questions.

1. Documentation: I'm sorry to say that I still don't have a full documentation of the software, but I will write it as soon as possible, I still don't have a website too, that's why I uploaded WebLocker on SourceForge in the first time.
2. DNScrypt: for WebLocker V2, DNScrypt is not supported anymore, it use a public DNSs that support: Log Anon and DNScrypt, you can find more here: https://servers.opennicproject.org/
3. Partners: I don't have partners, I am the only developer of WebLocker, and it's my personal idea.

please if you have any other question, feel free to ask me, and i will be happy to answer it.

So, the tool is basically a DNS switcher? Or switcher + null-routing with hosts file?

How does it prevent DNS leaks and tracks? Switching to a DNS server that claims doing this is not the same as actually preventing it.

The feature list seems a bit like false advertisement, if it's just a blocklist. While null-routing known malware hosts does prevent getting malware from those domains, that really doesn't qualify a product as "anti-malware".

How come it's hosted on sourceforge if the source is not available?

Also, a couple of things regarding DnsCrypt:
1) it doesn't encrypt DNS traffic, it cryptographically verifies that the replies haven't been tampered with.
2) using a DNS server that's listed as "supporting DnsCrypt" is meaningless, you don't gain anything unless you're running the DnsCrypt client yourself.

Hi F0lder,

thank you so much for your helpful comment.

Yea, that's true switching DNS to a trusted DNS doesn't mean preventing DNS Leaking, that's why I'll make a new version will be 2.2.0, that will be DNScrypt supported.

I just notice that I was writing Malware blocker in Features, but in the description, I'm writing: Block domains known to spread malware.



I edited the features and I make it correct now, I'm sorry for that and thank you so much again.

Note: I'm a 20 years guy and, I will be so glad to hear your advices or anything that can improve the software.
