We were recently made aware of multiple potential DNS leaks on Android. They stem from bugs in Android itself, and only affect certain apps.

    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 .
