Prerequisites

I checked I checked I checked

Describe the bug

I receive a 'connection timed out' error every time I try to use Obtainium while my VPN is active. Without my VPN being active, I have no problem using Obtainium.

To Reproduce

I have set up my free Proton VPN using [OpenVPN for pDNSf](https://github.com/IngoZenz/ics-openvpn), and I use [personalDNSfilter](https://github.com/IngoZenz/personaldnsfilter) in combination with it. This seems to be working fine for all other apps I use. But when using Obtainium, I keep receiving a connection timed out error, making it impossible for me to connect Obtainium to the github repo with my current VPN setup.

Screenshots and Logs

I made sure github.com is not blocked by the DNS filter.

Please complete the following information:

  • Device: Google Pixel 6a
  • OS: GrapheneOS
  • Obtainium Version: 1.1.4

Additional context

I have also attempted to use Obtainium without VPN by exempting it in the OpenVPN app. This would allow me to still use VPN for all other apps. Unfortunately, when opening Obtainium now, it gives me a 'connection failed' error.

When I click any app in Obtainium using this (second) setup, I receive another error:
net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

Followed by another error message:
ClientException with SocketException: Connection failed

Only after I disable 'block connections without VPN' (kill switch) in my OS VPN settings, this setup seems to be working, and I don't receive any more error messages in Obtainium. Obtainium is now connecting to github and downloading updates again!

I'm just not sure whether this (third) setup is as safe as I would like, because I really appreciated the 'kill switch' feature I have now disabled, in order to make Obtainium function properly again.
