[Bug] ODoH custom proxy fails silently and falls back to naked DoH without warning (v055y) #2880
|
Device Information:
DescriptionWhen configuring a custom ODoH (Oblivious DoH) profile using a valid Target Server paired with a custom Relay Proxy, the app shows "Connected" but completely bypasses the proxy. It performs a silent fallback to a "Naked DoH" connection without throwing any errors or warning the user that their real IP is exposed to the target resolver. Note: In older versions like v055t, the DNS logs falsely stated "resolved anonymously" even without a proxy. While this UI bug was fixed/removed in newer versions (v055u-v055y), the actual custom proxy routing engine still fails to engage. Steps to Reproduce
Actual BehaviorThe DNS Leak Test reveals the ISP as Cloudflare located in the user's local region (e.g., Manila, Philippines) instead of the proxy's country (e.g., Singapore or Netherlands). This confirms that the proxy is being bypassed silently, defeating the core privacy purpose of ODoH. Expected Behavior

ODoH will not hide your actual IP. Setup Configure -> Proxy for that. ODoH will not hide the DNS upstream from authoritative DNS resolvers vending fingerprinted DNS requests (like What ODoH does is hide your client identity (your client's public IP address, for example) from the DNS upstream (in your case, Cloudflare). --- [ DNS Request encrypted w/ Target public key ] -->

ODoH will not hide the DNS upstream from authoritative DNS resolvers vending fingerprinted DNS requests (like
dnsleaktest.com,browserleaks.com/dns,dnscheck.tools, etc).What ODoH does is hide your client identity (your client's public IP address, for example) from the DNS upstream (in your case, Cloudflare).
