Is there a method to modify the hosts file on an Android device running version 13 without root access?

I'm interested in altering hosts file to manage network configurations and block certain websites, but I'd prefer not to root my device due to potential security and warranty concerns.

Are there any legitimate and safe procedures, ADB commands, or tools available for achieving this on Android 13?

I couldn't find any way to do that.

    The answer is no, but you could create a vpn interface and filter on the list of unwanted routers.

    What do you want to do? Black sites like ad sites? Or redirect traffic to a different server for app testing?

  • Not sure what you mean by "it's not good like old host based one". I use VPN based blockers like Blokada 5 for years, they work like a charm.
