I've stopped using Mull because always seems to have issue on my phone + it only gets update once a month if you are lucky.
Try Tubular instead of newpipe There are more functions like sponsorblock

- KDE Connect: Transfer files, clipboard, notifications between your phone and computer on your local network.
- Unit Lab: Easy converter. Allows you to add different units together (eg. 5kg + 10lb + 4 stone).
- Seal: Great front-end for yt-dlp. Allows you to download YT/IG/TikTok videos. Would like to see IG image download support.
- AVNC: VNC client, allowing me to remotely access my laptop from my phone via local network.
- Binary Eye: Barcode scanner with the option to turn on scan history.
- Copy: Copy text from apps that otherwise may not allow you to copy text. Also allows for easy taking of screenshots.
- Save To...: Useful for saving certain files that sometimes don't give the option to save.
- Secure Tether: Share your mobile data as a hotspot for other phones/computers, bypassing your provider's restrictions on hotspot.

3 0 ReplyHow did you configure the RethinkDNS. I tried it but I don't know how to configure the DNS not to block all my internet traffic.
2 0 ReplyFirewall -> universal firewall rules. Or you can run it in dns mode only if you dont want to block any apps.
1 0 ReplyI tried the universal firewall rules and apart from block port 80, I didn't manage to configure it in a way to not lose connectivity. I also use Adguard DNS, which I set manually on my phone, so the DNS only mode isn't very beneficial for me either.

The dns only option can be selected by tapping the arrow icon next to the start/stop button.

Rethink was okay for me, latest update seems to quit a lot, and it doesn't warn me, just gone.
Back to DNS66, which at least doesn't do that.
2 0 ReplyDNS66 is also very good, but the last update was 3 years ago.
1 0 ReplyThank you, I agree with that concern. I need to get an older version of Rethink that doesn't crash or is vulnerable to Stingray ops.
