Hello,
I use blokada to filter ads. I have problems with Blokada vpn (blokada creates a fake vpn connection to filter ads in rootless systems): it is active and coloros indicated that a VPN connection is up and running, but actual network traffic is not all passing through the vpn. Chrome for instance is not being filtered (and is not in Blokada app exclusion list).
Is anyone of you experiencing problems with vpn?
Thx
Use adguard, almost no ads

i was hoping that the new version would fix the ipsec vpn, but i cant seem to get it working. i create the ipsec vpn profile and it connects great, i tell it the network i want to pass traffic, 10.0.0.0/8. but i get 0 packets transmitted and i cannot talk to anything over the vpn. is there something i am doing wrong? i do have root access, is there another vpn client i can install to get ipsec vpn working?
thanks for you help.
Recently I purchased VPN service from Private Internet Access. I've been using their app to establish a VPN connection on my Nexus 4, however I find the app to be buggy and generally lacking. I was wondering what the best way to setup a VPN connection on Android is. I know that Android has a built-in VPN setting but it requires the use of a lock-screen password which I'd rather not use. If possible (and I'm not sure that it is) I'd like an app that can seamlessly switch between a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection. Any tips/pointers are greatly appreciated!
How can I setup the next situation in Android 5.0?
1. All network communication of app A should be made through an VPN connection with a proxy;
2. The other apps should continue to communicate directly through the wireless connection, without any proxy.
I was partly able to do this in Android 4.4 KitKat. I configured the VPN, turned it on and configured the proxy ip and port in the wireless network details. Android started to redirect the traffic of all apps through VPN and proxy.
When I do the same in Android 5.0, the result is worst! The apps simply continue to use the wireless connection directly, without any consideration of the VPN and proxy.
Thanks guys.
I am using VPN because Google apps only work via proxied connections but recently all of the Google apps stop working if I have the VPN mode on (if I switch to NAT mode they works). I think Google detects VPN and disable its apps' network requests.
Some of my Android 11 devices with Always-On VPN apps ignore VPN tunnels when in Sleep Mode, even though "Always-On" and "Block Connections Without VPN" are enabled in Android Network & Internet settings. Local DNS resolver logs show that Android Sleep Mode WiFi activity includes Android devices attempting to resolve Google domains, such as google.com, connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, and play.googleapis.com outside of VPN tunnels using WiFi-assigned DNS resolver address instead of VPN-set resolver address. The same devices do use VPN tunnels in Sleep Mode when receiving email and other internet data. That means that VPN tunnel connection persists and isn't dropped in Sleep Mode.
It is almost as if there is a forced Android-set VPN Split Tunneling that can't be configured in any VPN apps. The same behavior happens with all VPN apps and protocols, but not on all devices. Disabling or enabling Battery Optimization for VPN apps makes no difference.
Some say that Captive Portal check is the issue, but none of following ADB Shell Captive Portal commands resolve this issue for me:
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
settings put global captive_portal_server localhost
settings put global captive_portal_mode 0
settings put global wifi_watchdog_on 0
settings put global wifi_watchdog_background_check_enabled 0
pm disable com.android.captiveportallogin
This behavior is similar to how Android devices use carrier/SIM-card WiFi calling that also bypasses installed VPN apps and exclusively uses IPSec 3GPP ePDG tunnels to make/receive calls and/or SMS/MMS. Only app-based WiFi calling (WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Telegram, Signal, etc.) and other internet apps can use installed VPN app tunnels.
There is definitely no way to tunnel carrier/SIM-card WiFi calling through installed VPN apps, but is there a way to prevent Android devices in Sleep Mode from trying to connect to google.com, connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, and play.googleapis.com outside of VPN tunnels? Connecting to those Google domains outside of VPN defeats the point of using a VPN!
