Copy that. Would love to see that.!
Any movement on this?
Not so far - but let´s keep it just open - I do not see it high prio and I haven't much time. But let´s keep it in the backlog
Cross-posting some of my notes from Rethink's Tasker issue, since they may be relevant here too:
If you end up making a Tasker plugin, it would probably make sense to have it check its caller for a Rethink-specific permission or something before accepting a command. Plugins can be called by any app on the device, and obviously it would be bad if any app could just silently unblock itself by sending Rethink a 'stop' intent. Termux's Tasker plugin uses a permission for this now, as does WireGuard.
(Unfortunately, if an actual Android-style permission is used, it looks like Tasker itself - or any other automation app - would have to have its manifest modified to list that permission before it could use the plugin. Tasker's developer seems to have been willing to do this for both Termux and WireGuard, though.)
Shortcuts would need similar security considerations, though in that case a permission probably doesn't make sense because every single launcher would need to be modified to request it…

just revisiting this, and I stumbled upon this open issue
This seems to be a similar request to mine, tasker integration / implementing intents.
The linked .apk will not install for me, Pixel 6 Pro A14. Error pop up says "App not installed as package appears to be invalid"
Already implemented in Tailscale app, and works well in my testing: r/tailscale
I am not working on this topic currently and I think it won't happen soon

That's a shame. A quick Google seems to indicate there is demand for it. I'm no programmer / developer, but I have seen other apps implement intent receivers pretty quickly, with minimal effort. I think these intent receivers are quicker and more light weight than implementing the tasker plugin functions Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough to try to help with this.
There are many users want this but don't know why it's not yet added. It's a free app and developer should only add if he wants. There is nothing wrong with this.
This is a great app, and my go to for local DNS filtering, but I think integration with Tasker would be a huge addition. For me personally, it's the only thing missing.
I'm no dev, but I don't believe it be a big job, and many other similar apps have Tasker integration.
