I like it, but it's sad that I have to run an extra VPN app on my Android because Xiaomi doesn't allow me to configure private DNS.

- nextdns 6y agoIt's a "fake" VPN, it only captures the DNS traffic (that's just the cleanest/most efficient way to do it).
- k__ 6y agoYes, I thought so. Still sad. On my desktop systems I can configure it in the network options and never think about it again. On Android I always close it if I don't think about it when closing all apps, then I forget to restart it.
- microbass 6y agoUsing this app, you can access DNS settings which are typically hidden in MIUI https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ceyhan.sets https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ceyhan.set...
- k__ 6y agoYes, I know about these apps, they don't work. The network stuff is not accessible.
- 0x49d1 6y agoThey do have custom DNS provider setting, but it's a bit hidden (also it's different among various MIUI versions). So to find it better try old QuickShortcuts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.an... and see the Settings->Network Dashboard (or something similar).
- k__ 6y agoI tried multiple of these apps, and nothing worked.
