    I’ve stopped using Mull because always seems to have issue on my phone + it only gets update once a month if you are lucky.

    Try Tubular instead of newpipe There are more functions like sponsorblock

    I did use F-Droid, now I use Obtanium. I use Mull Browser as well, but I really like Fulguris Browser better

    Rethink was okay for me, latest update seems to quit a lot, and it doesn’t warn me, just gone.

    Back to DNS66, which at least doesn’t do that.

        Thank you, I agree with that concern. I need to get an older version of Rethink that doesn’t crash or is vulnerable to Stingray ops.

    How did you configure the RethinkDNS. I tried it but I don’t know how to configure the DNS not to block all my internet traffic.

      Firewall -> universal firewall rules. Or you can run it in dns mode only if you dont want to block any apps.

        I tried the universal firewall rules and apart from block port 80, I didn’t manage to configure it in a way to not lose connectivity. I also use Adguard DNS, which I set manually on my phone, so the DNS only mode isn’t very beneficial for me either.

      The dns only option can be selected by tapping the arrow icon next to the start/stop button.
