Just use rethink dns with a wireguard tunnel and block every app except those you trust and need !
I tried out rethink DNS but I did not manage in any way to just use my VPNs DNS. Would you have a hint how to make it work?
You have to put wireguard in simple mode .
Thank you so much. Me just stupid.
Nah we all don't know some things .
That will not solve this issue.
I think rethink prevents dns leaks .
The issue seems to be related to how Android falls back for DNS query, beneath the firewall of your choice. In a building, people do not walk from or through upper floors. They need to enter through the ground floor and then go up.
