What I’d like to do is add an exceptions list (apps that will not be routed through the Wireguard interface). The rationale for this being that some apps simply don’t work with Wireguard. For example, the use of a Wireguard VPN with custom DNS breaks WearOS watches due to Google hardcoding the use of the 8.8.8.8 DNS server. Another example is that Netflix doesn’t work when routed through my VPN server since they know it’s a DigitalOcean instance, but works fine without the VPN enabled. Another example is that there’s often no reason to route data-heavy video apps through your VPN server. Rather than turning the VPN on my phone off to use my wearable or to watch something on my phone, I’d like to be able to opt those apps out of using the VPN at all. I’m sure there are many more examples of apps that simply don’t need to go through a VPN, as no confidential information is passed through them.</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><font face="Helvetica">My proposal is to add another Fragment that’s just a list of all apps installed on the phone with check boxes next to them. If the checkbox is checked, that app will be routed through Wireguard. If not, it will be free to bypass the VPN. Naturally, all apps will be default to being checked. This is an easy change to make for the GoBackend implementation using VpnService.Builder.addDisallowedApplication(<packageName>), but would likely be pretty complicated to add to WgQuickBackend. Perhaps this is something that would only be possible for GoBackend users.</font><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">Any thoughts on this? I have everything working locally by simply adding these two hardcoded lines to GoBackend.java:</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><div><font face="Helvetica"> builder.addDisallowedApplication("com.netflix.mediaclient");</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"> builder.addDisallowedApplication("com.google.android.wearable.app”);</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica">but I would like to make this more configurable and available to the rest of Wireguard users if you’re agreeable to it. Thanks.</font></div></div></div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font><div id="bloop_sign_1530563587386675712" class="bloop_sign"></div></body></html>
