Monitored apps don't work on mobile data #422

Closed Skarfester closed 1 week ago

Skarfester commented 3 months ago

Do you use TrackerControl from Google Play/F-Droid/other? 2024.01.03-fdroid, android 11.

Describe the bug Hello, On wifi everything works as expected but when I'm on mobile data any of the monitored apps work (they report to be offline). If I stop monitoring that app or pause TrackerControl the app works again. All the other non monitored apps work. While using any of those monitored apps nothing appears on the traffic log, like it is not even trying to connect. Another user reported a similar behavior on issue #297. I wonder if there is any setting to solve this that I don't know off. I tried changing all network options without success. Thank you very much for your support.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Turn off wifi and open any monitored app using mobile data (doesn't work).
  2. Stop monitoring that app or pause TrackerControl (now it works).

Hello, After introducing some DNS addresses in the advanced options settings all monitored apps work on mobile data. So apparently this solves the issue.
