Using Rethink DNS app btw, I want to use a firewall and VPN at the same time on Android. Wtf?!?

So my IP has somehow just been leaking all this time…

Edit: Typo

are you using DNS-over-TLS?

I manually copy pasted mullvad’s DNS into DNS over TLS

you should contact their support because it seems to be the vpn connection that fails

there must be something wrong with your config. When my VPN connection fails, i have a network error and no connection

ERROR: Earth.exe has crashed

I mean, when I use the official Mullvad app, this doesn’t happen, but only when I use Rethink DNS app.

I would just use the official app, but Android only allows one VPN at a time, and “Firewall” apps count as a VPN, so… Rethink DNS is the only app that combines both… 🤷‍♂️

you don’t need to “combine both”, like i wrote under a different comment here, you can use a firewall and connect it to your vpn through SOCKS5
