on the thumbnail of the video on top of your post you see red and blue icons for wifi&mobile service that you can click to change them.
Red= access blocked, blue= allowed

[lipici]

So if the aurora store from video shown is with red for WiFi and mobile connection why has acces to Internet then?
Same for the rest of 38 aplications that I blocked them with red, have acces to Internet.

Please switch to v055t, that's the latest version.

(moving to discussions)

Same issue, I had last version but was draining battery and you recommended that version for battery saver.

I installed last version v055t and still dosent block.

Do you have rdns vpn config in android as "always on" + "block connections without vpn"? Also, I assume you don't have Aurora configured to go via some local 127.0.0.1 proxy like orbot (having "bypass" in rdns for local addresses)

Everything is default in phone settings, only setting that I changed in rethink it's that I turned all logs off to see if something changes in battery.

Can you tell me if I showed you what you asked me. Aurora has default settings, but I tried with other apps like brave, booking just for test and same thing.

While in system settings, fir some reason you haven't opened details of VPN->Rethink. Why?
This is to get the answer to "Do you have rdns vpn config in android as "always on" + "block connections without vpn"?"
Read what it is (it's universal for all VPN apps, not only Rethink) - then check your settings

[lipici]

Because the android in huawei dosent have that setting I think. All settings are gestioned by rethink, I think?

So figure it out (google) how VPNs are configured on Huawei to turn those features on in the system

[lipici]

These are all settings available for manual vpn

From 0:09 it seems like you're running Rethink in DNS-only mode. This is supposed to be the most battery efficient mode, as a LOT of the network engine (the stuff that processes packets) is simply turned OFF.

It is then strange you see high battery use. The only setting I can think may have impact is Treat domain rules as firewall rules. Try and turn OFF Configure -> DNS -> Treat domain rules as firewall rules and see if things improve?

I take you're on the latest Rethink version, v055t? You can check version information in the footer of the About UI.

[lipici]

Yes, DNS - only mode but is last version. I updated. When I check for updates on app says you are on the last version.
Thank you.
