[ISSUE] What is `1052` added in commit `270183b`?

Open Fry-kun opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

270183b description says "Removed dns proxy changes introduced in android 4.1" -- but it also adds uid 1052 to do anything on wifi: https://github.com/ukanth/afwall/blob/a1fe38b3c1d79338b01eb206f4b3b9e2c5049b99/app/src/main/java/dev/ukanth/ufirewall/Api.java#L475

The comment is not very descriptive and it's not immediately clear what issue this is trying to fix (if any)

There are a few references to "1052" in the issues, but none are clear as to what this might be.

It should probably be removed ASAP

UID 1052 is the system DNS service that handles:

  • DNS queries and responses
  • Name resolution for system and apps
  • Local network name resolution (important for LAN functionality)
  • System-level DNS caching

Why it needs LAN access:

  • Local DNS servers (router DNS)
  • mDNS/Bonjour service discovery on LAN
  • Local network name resolution
  • DNS over local network interfaces
