Hi,
Problem with TrackerControl app, by F-Droid.
I downloaded, and installed the app.
I entered the TrackerControl main menu, gave it rights to monitor my device and opened ANY internet-using-app to check Trackers that it has … the application says there is no internet. The TrackerControl lists the trackers along with specific names of google/fb services, but the application itself - e.g. Whatsapp - doesn’t work properly - messages don’t refresh etc. My thinking: if list of trackers update there is SOME Internet connection, but no apps can access the web.
User from this forum suggested me the following:
Suggestion 1:
Do you have disabled ‘private DNS’ ? Private DNS is using encrypted DNS queries which TC can’t read. So it must be OFF.
My response:
It was enabled, I disabled it by:
/e/ settings > Wi-Fi & internet > Advanced > Private DNS > Switch to Off and tap Save.
Result:
nothing changed…
Suggestion 2:
Do you have running an app which encrypted the DNS queries ?
My response:
AVG Antivirus - running at the moment I disabled it by:
/e/ → settings → Apps → AVG → stop running
VPN - disabled at the moment
Result:
nothing changed…
Help!
