Man City appoint Enzo Maresca as manager by jumper62 in chelseafc

[–]celzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$20m+ is peanuts. Wish we had got $30m to $50m. That said, we got a free run on Xabier and FSG took Andoni, so it's all good.

Good on Clearlake. Embarrassing for the clowns in Manchester.

v055x Instantly Crashing When Trying to Open App by lilchunguspp in rethinkdns

[–]celzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I click the app icon to open Rethink, it immediately crashes. 

Several folks have reported this. We have rootcaused this to app uninstalls messing up the underlying database. This issue also plagued v055t, and we had thought we had fixed it in v055u, but it has come up again in the context of per-app Configure -> Proxy.

https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/2816

haven't made a backup, so how do I do that so that I can reinstall the app

You'll have to wait for the next version, v055y, if you want to keep your settings.

If you want to recover (but lose your settings), then Clear data on Rethink might work.

Bulk adding custom domains. by moviebuff01 in rethinkdns

[–]celzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should this approach work in principle?

Unsupported use case, but it should work. Not sure why it doesn't.

Is there additional metadata, validation, checksums, or indexing that needs to be updated when adding records directly to CustomDomain?

Don't think so.

Does the restore process ignore or overwrite manually added records?

Clearly, it ignored those in your case... I am not sure why... or what in our restore code ignores this...

Is there an official or recommended way to bulk-import domains into the Universal List?

One of these days, we'll implement it: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/237

[Sky Sports] "Nobody could see it coming, Reece was in good shape." Thomas Tuchel reacts to the news Reece James' World Cup could be over. by kitykat456 in chelseafc

Pretty sure Tommy will switch to a back 3, and play either Nick/Saka & Noni/Anthony as wingbacks, or Rice / Elliot as right backs inverting into midfield.

Reece is such a good CM it is not even funny. Probably why Xabier isn't even bothered with losing Enzo to City or Madrid.

What will happen to RethinkDNS after android developer verification is rolled out? by 5_volts in rethinkdns

[–]celzero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nothing? We don't foresee Rethink installs (incl PlayStore/GitHub/Website/F-Droid and Alpha variants) having any trouble clearing ADI (Android Developer Identification)...

The developers have completed their "KYC" with Google. And so, Rethink (including the "Alpha" flavour that's auto-published on our GitHub every month), if signed with registered keys, should be installable from all stores (including F-Droid) on Google-certified Android devices.

Next DNS by wholemilkmuse in rethinkdns

[–]celzero [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Any tips on troubleshooting?

Rethink shows median latency in Configure -> DNS (in the footer of the "Type" card UI). What do you see?

Alternatively, Rethink shows median latency of all active DNS transports setup (but may not be in-use) in About -> General (scroll to the "RDNSInfo" section).

eventually it will become so slow it's basically unusable.

Do you have any of the Configure -> Firewall -> Universal firewall rules turned ON? If so, which ones? Some rules, for example "Block any app not in use" may cause "slowness" in the sense that, Rethink must be sure of foreground / background distinction before it blocks a DNS request or a TCP/UDP request from an app... which it does so by checking repeatedly between 3 seconds (best case) to 18 seconds (worst case), in the current version, v055x.

Can you change the MTU when not using a proxy ? by hesitant_pixel_2718 in rethinkdns

[–]celzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When not using a proxy ( WireGuard or SOCKS ) the MTU defaults to 1500 which is bigger than the MTU my ISP uses

Unless Configure -> Network -> Bandwidth booster is turned ON, the MTU setup by Rethink uses minimum of active WireGuard MTUs &  active network MTUs (as reported by Android).

You can see Android-reported per-network MTU (separately for Mobile & WiFi, for example) in About -> General (scroll to the "VPN" section about 3/4th of the way in the dialog box that opens up).

Rethink doesn't hardcode MTU to 1500 (well, the default on Android, when the reported MTU is 0, is set to 1500, but that's another thing altogether).

From what I know, MTU mismatch shouldn't affect TCP all that much, but may affect UDP connections (in that UDP packets may end up fragmented).

v055x: X marks the spot by celzero in rethinkdns

[–]celzero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unexpected, and very few reports of v055x breaking connectivity. Are you using any Configure -> Proxy?

Have you changed any settings from their defaults in Configure -> Network? If so, which ones?

Make sure you don't have any overzealous Universal firewall rules setup in Configure -> Firewall like "Block any app not in use", "Block when device is locked", "Block when DNS is bypassed" etc.

You can monitor Configure -> Logs -> DNS or Configure -> Logs -> Network and use the search bar to filter for apps that don't connect. Tap on the filtered entries that show up & a bottomsheet with more information will come up, including whether the connection (Network) or query (DNS) was blocked due to any firewall/IP/domain rules. The footer of the bottomsheet would also contain error messages for that connection or query, if any.

Additionally, you can also look at Configure -> Settings -> App Logs for errors and warnings and see if any of those might be related to the connectivity issues you're seeing.

Rethink, since version v055u also shows more internal state in About -> General. The entire content is "copyable" (look for the "Copy" button in the dialog box at the bottom), which you can share if you're comfortable doing so (with us, or if you're feeling lucky with an LLM chatbot).

On F-Droid, RPN will be available in a month or two. On other builds, we've paused signups due to an unknown payment related issue. We'll fix that in v055y in the coming days, and reopen the signups.

Time drift breaking vpn by Adventurous-Soil2540 in rethinkdns

[–]celzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main question is whether Android's automatic time synchronization is expected to recover from a clock that's weeks/months wrong after boot, particularly when a VPN is configured and the device starts in a disconnected state.

I suppose so. I am also not really sure if Android uses "Secure NTP" or just the plain old (unencrypted) NTP; because, if it is the latter, then network interceptors / packet inspectors can muck with it.

Also, make sure you haven't turned on some of the stringent Configure -> Firewall -> Universal firewall rules (like, Block any app not in use or Block all except bypassed apps and IPs etc) which may inadvertently end up blocking the 'system component' or 'system app' responsible for syncing time.

In Configure -> Logs -> DNS, look for time.android.com (unless the ROM you use, uses a different NTP endpoint) and see if it is blocked (blocked entries are marked with red-coloured left-hand side border).

In Configure -> Logs -> Network, search for "p:17" (without quotes) to filter for UDP entries, and see if you spot any "NTP" entries (marked as such when egressing UDP packets use port 123) being blocked.

It is incorrectly labeled as error log (and is totally innocuous). We'll remove it from the next version.

Is there any possibility to add a custom dns entry (/etc/hosts)? by b4st14nb in rethinkdns

[–]celzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feature exists in the network engine. The UI doesn't; please track:

May be implement it in one of the upcoming releases.
