I understand the VPN/multicast issue, how do you register multiple devices for the multicast from a single VPN exit IP?

I'm not actually interested in making multicast work through a wireguard tunnel. I'm more interested in blocking the multicast that is getting in from the local wifi when I'm connected to wireguard. Not a concern on my home network, but it is an issue when I am using other wifi networks that are untrusted.

You can do this by using the 'block-local' feature in the WireGuard Android app, which is designed to block any traffic from local network interfaces.

If that doesn't work:

Adjust WireGuard Configuration: The AllowedIPs configuration can determine what traffic is sent through the WireGuard tunnel. By setting AllowedIPs to 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0, you should be able to route all traffic through the VPN, effectively isolating your device from the local network.

That is my allowed IPs setting. I can't find block-local or anything similar in my wireguard settings. Do I need to switch to the fdroid release or side load from github?
