Okay then. You are a Guru! I am just a beginner. Sorry if I encroached my limits.

As far as I understand AFW+ can only block the whole internet connection for an app and not selected tracker connections. That is provided by the settings in app info also. Is that correct? If so, that may be the reason why it works, it does not need to read the DNS communication. It is a pity that private DNS and tracker blocking are not compatible.

I’m kinda lost. Has anyone figured out why private DNS won’t work.

Setting 1:

  • Turn mobile data on
  • Using a private DNS server, e.g. dns.digitale-gesellschaft.ch
    Result: No connection “Private DNS server cannot be accessed”

Setting 2:

  • Turn mobile data on
  • Using private DNS option “Automatic”
    Result: Connection works fine

Setting 3:

  • Turn Wifi on and mobile data off
  • Using a private DNS server, e.g. dns.digitale-gesellschaft.ch
    Result: No connection “Private DNS server cannot be accessed”

Setting 4:

  • Turn Wifi on and mobile data off
  • Using the private DNS option “Automatic”
    Result: Connection works fine

Using /e/OS 1.5.1-s on my FP4.

I have a question : does Advanced Privacy (and its tracker blocker function) works with DoT ?

Edit : I’ve found an answer here (Advanced Privacy - know all about it) and it’s “no”. Advanced Privacy can’t block tracker when DoT is used.
