Dear team,

when I'm activating Blokada and want to download podcasts with AntennaPod I can't do it via Wifi anymore.

AntennaPod asks me to download my podcast audio files via cellular/4G instead of using my working Wifi connection. There are no "blocked xyz" event messages from blokdada while this, but it works again when I'm disabling Blokada.

I hope I made my issue clear. Please fix this pity behaviour :).

Steps to reproduce

1.Install the app from f droid and open it. 2.Then click on 3 dots mentioned on the top right corner of the app. 3.Here appears some option, one of then is "Share log" ,click on it to reproduce the bug.

Expected behaviour

After downloading the app from f droid. And i then started working in it. I saw a "share log" option, i clicked on it to share the log. It was expected

Actual behaviour

When i clicked on "share log" option, it shows some error or blockada report. Like that it is not working.

Configuration

1. Blokada version 3.4.100500

2. Device model Oppo a37f

3. Android version / ROM 5.1.1

Blokada ran perfectly fine since 547 was fixed but on some point in the last months (I guess it was December or November) it began being closed every now and then. The notification bar disappears and when I open Blokada it will reestablish the connection again. It's not the battery optimisation thingy (because I excluded Blokada from battery optimisation). I don't think that Blokada is killing itself but I guess it's not prohibiting others from killing it. :wink:

I also have the feeling that it might be related to switching networks (i.e. between wifi & 4G) or because I'm occasionally setting it into flight mode. But I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's unrelated to that.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run Blokada on Samsung S9 or Samsung Tab S6

Expected behaviour

Blokada would keep running. :+1:

Actual behaviour

Blokada closes. :-1:

Configuration

1. :shield: Blokada versions:
   • 4.4.3 (android-28 community release arm64-v8a samsung-starlte touch api compatible)

Questions

1. How long have you been using Blokada? Since a long time but I'm still struggling why this is relevant. Maybe you want to add a comment to the issue template that explains how and why this is relevant. This would help to answer this question better, I guess.

2. How long time ago has the problem started to happen? Not too long ago. I would say since two months at maximum. But I didn't had a look on it exactly.

3. How often does this problem happen to you? All the time.

Settings

Notifications: No Start on boot: Yes Settings location: Internal Storage Background animation: No Keep alive: Yes Watchdog: Yes Aggressive wakeup: Yes

Without VPN set to always-on it becomes this:

When VPN is set to always-on it simply leads to this:

PS: there were similar issues on Blokada 2.2.2, 3.6 (1, 2), 3.7 (1, 2, 3), 4.3.4. PPS: Please note that other applications are staying in background perfectly fine on the same device (i.e. messengers like Conversations or Threema). Furthermore alternative Ad blockers like personalDNSfilter or DNS66 doesn't cause this problem on my device.

Steps to reproduce

1. Turn on notifications for blokada
2. Wait for it to block some traffic

Expected behaviour

The notifications should appear collapsed as we're generally not interested in what is being blocked. We keep the notifications ON to prevent blokada being killed by power saving features of OS.

Actual behaviour

The notification always appears expanded with no way to permanently collapse it. ..

Implement DNS over TLS functionality. Add a field "dotEnabled" to the DNS configuration model (Dns and DnsChoice), and a step in the custom DNS creation logic to support adding the DNS server hostname (e.g. 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com).

Advanced > Networks only stays on "All networks." It never toggles to more specific networks, whether it's "Any mobile network," "Any WiFi network," or a specific SSID.

Have tried many configurations to find a workaround but "All networks" is always toggled green.

My setup is as follows: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra / Android 13 / Blokada 5 22.4.20 / Downloaded from Blokada site

There is a thread about this issue on the community forum with others experiencing the same issue: https://community.blokada.org/t/prefer-network-dns-nonfunctional/28052/10

Dependabot will resolve any conflicts with this PR as long as you don't alter it yourself. You can also trigger a rebase manually by commenting @dependabot rebase.

I'd really like to have the option to completely disable the use of external DNS servers and always use the network DNS server. Sometimes Blokada uses an external DNS server when I'm connected to my home WiFi, even though I have "Prefer Network DNS" enabled, which means that I can't connect to other local devices in my WiFi.

Blokada 5, ever since the whole rebranding thing in July, doesn't let traffic through (other apps stuck loading and/or claims offline) after resuming from Doze.
In that case, either turn Blokada off then on again, or just wait a while, and traffic will resume again, until next time the device enters Doze.
Blokada is already set to Unrestricted battery use, and Private DNS is Off. Pixel 6, reproducible on both Android 12.1 July patch and Android 13 August patch.
