Blocked URLs in router settings still open on Brave

Browser Support

Hello,

So I blocked some website urls in my router’s filter settings and some of them don’t actually open and some other ones still do open. They don’t open in Chrome so this problem is only on Brave. I tried disabling all these settings that I suspected might cause the issue with no success:

Secure DNS
Upgrading to https connection
Auto redirect AMP pages
Auto redirect tracking urls
Blocking fingerprinting

Also this is not a cache issue because the sites still open in private mode.

Any ideas ?
Brave version: 1.75.180, Chromium 133.0.6943.126
Android 10

Please edit your Original Post (“OP”) above, to include:

  • Brave Browser version numbers
  • Operating System version numbers

Let us say, that your router’s IP address (effectively the LAN’s gateway IP address) on your Local Area Network (LAN) is:

  • 192.168.0.1

On your computing device, MANUALLY set the computing device’s network connection DNS server number to:

  • 192.168.0.1

Do that for:

  • Ethernet connection
  • Wireless connection

and, if/where you find the opportunity of adjusting the DNS setting within a software application such as Brave Browser.

Also, the following may be involved:

You might DISABLE IPFS resolution:

Implementation Details

System administrators can disable the functionality completely using an admin policy. There’s also a global setting that can be used in brave://flags.

The go-ipfs binary is downloaded and kept up to date by Brave if a local node is enabled. It uses the same update mechanism as extensions.

Brave’s IPFS support has been designed to minimize its effect on system resources. If Brave has been configured to use a local IPFS node, that node will be lazily loaded only when the first IPFS URI is accessed. If Brave has been configured to use the public gateway, the IPFS node is never loaded.

Users can troubleshoot IPFS by navigating to an internal page: brave://ipfs. This also shows users the gateway, API, and swarm ports. Users can also talk to the Brave managed instance using go-ipfs command line and by specifying an argument for the --api= parameter.

Is IPFS integrated in the Android app too ?
If so what’s the name of the global setting I should disable l ? Can’t seem to find anything containing “IPFS” in the flags page.
