TrackerControl does not do anything despite detecting trackers

[sbstn87]

Hi,

I am afraid that TrackerControl does not do anything on my phone. It detects tracker libraries (and a lot of them as shown on the screenshot), but there is no option to block them. The same situation is for every app, with an exception of RedReader, where is it shown that the app connects to Reddit (as it is a Reddit app) and I can unblock the connection.

In the advanced options I have the Domaind-based Blocking enabled.

Is this a normal situation? If not, what can be the problem?

I got to the root of the problem. I have been using a custom DNS (via the Invizible Pro app) and TrackerControl does not work with it. Any ideas how to make them work together?

Is this the version from the PlayStore?

Did you disable Private DNS from your Android settings?

Sometimes, this takes a while.

This is the F-Droid version. No, the Private DNS mode is set to automatic. Should it be disabled?

Ok, after disabling it, trackers are detected and can be blocked. Thank you.
