Using Rethink DNS app btw, I want to use a firewall and VPN at the same time on Android. Wtf?!?

So my IP has somehow just been leaking all this time…

Edit: Typo

    you are doing nothing wrong. To my knowledge, there is no effective firewall app for android that doesn’t occupy the VPN connection. From my understanding, you either have a VPN or a firewall. I have found no work around for both that was effective.

      Invizible Pro is the best option here. Uses Tor not a VPN though. Does firewall, i2p, and DNS. Is on FDroid

      I use tasker. Is SSID name “my home SSID name”?

      Yes: disable wireguard

      No: enable wireguard

      Always on vpn. I have no need to use these other VPNs like everyone else is, but if I were I’d set that up on my opnsense firewall at home. That way everything in my network, and my phone’s when away from home, are all tunnelled through the VPN provider. Opnsense does all the content filtering and security stuff well enough for my needs.
