e-Passport Reader vs Quad9 Connect
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
e-Passport Reader
Android app that uses the NFC chip to communicate with an electronic passport. It supports action, so third party apps can use it to retrieve passport data. Please visit website for more information. The app is completely open source, so anyone is welcome to validate that it doesn't collect any personal information. Data is kept only in memory and removed as soon as you close the app. Passport data is never uploaded to any remote server. App had been successfully tested with Russian passport. It might not work with some other passports. If it doesn't work, please create GitHub issue to help me fix the issue instead of leaving negative feedback.
Quad9 Connect
Quad9 Connect is an Android and ChromeOS app that sends your DNS queries to Quad9's secure, private, open recursive DNS service. Quad9 Connect adds additional functionality and features compared to using Android's Private DNS feature to utilize encrypted DNS or configured Quad9 in Chrome on ChromeOS. The application creates a split VPN tunnel with Android API "VpnService" to configure an alternate DNS server on Android and ChromeOS. ## Features - DNS over TLS or DNS over UDP - DNS Query Log - Trusted Networks - Blocked Query Notifications - Local Domains - Excluded Applications
