I use shelter to use apps that I need to be on for school, like WhatsApp (which I can’t stop using unless I am out of school). I used RethinkDNS as both firewall and DNS because I am on a cheap android phone which doesn’t really have custom ROM support, I have removed google apps as much as I can, and used RethinkDNS to block other stuff. Now I recently noticed that RethinkDNS even in lockdown mode does not run in the work profile created by shelter ? So I tried using the inbuilt android private dns with rethink but it doesnot work - since in lockdown mode all traffic is routed through the RethinkDNS. Is there a sollution for this ? I don’t just wanna use nextdns through the Android private dns setup as it doesnot give the firewall capability.
tl;dr- how to use RethinkDNS with firewall+dns when using shelter ?
I couldn’t even get the inbuilt+rethinkDNS as just a firewall to work. It sucks so bad - but I guess there is nothing the devs can do, since it is an android problem. The problem with running both at the same time is battery life tho

It does make sense, but there could be an option to use the standard network interface.
I don’t think it’s a problem. It is logically the correct way of doing so.
