So cool... Everyone recommends to use VPN but almost all apps on #Android can't be used with VPN, and I'm not talking about just about #nostr. What do you recommend to do #asknostr. 🤔

Make yr own vpn with algo

Amethyst has tor and proxy support built in

what Android apps can't be used with a VPN??

Almost All...

weird

i have my VPN on all day long

You don't use any other apps on your phone, just Amethyst, and other apps downloaded from GitHub, open source apps?

i have a normal amount of apps

Seriously, I'm so confused. I run a VPN all the time and don't have any issues with my Apps not working. I'm just wondering how bad their config is.

websites sure

but apps just not functioning?

nah

I haven't even had many issues with websites. I would say 95% work just fine. And the only apps that don't like the VPN are Hulu and Paramount.

yeah 95% is accurate

i had a mobile phone refill company block me recently

and occasionally services will put your account on the "restricted" list until you make a fuss

Also, check if your VPN is leaking traffic. execute this command when connected to your VPN. curl —interface eth0 (your interface, check with „ifconfig“) https://google.com

If this command times out, you are fine, if you get a response, you’re leaking traffic, i.e your IP is public.

What Android apps? Genuinely curious.
