[Wiki] : Add instructions on how to configure RDNS
https://github.com/Gedsh/InviZible/wiki/Proxy-mode-(no-root-required)
In additioln to Netguard and personalDNSfilter, request update the wiki with instructions on how to configure RethinkDNS for this.
Ping @ignoramous (form RDNS team) for help.
PS: I know how to configure...it's for official documentation only
What is the reason for using InviZible with RethinkDNS? They do pretty much the same things.
Honestly for me it's about Logs, App specific domain/ip rules etc. which are presented in an user friendly UI. RethinkDNS shows app specific domains/ips nicely which I check when testing/trying_out new apps. I know InviZible has Firewall option but it's not as configurable as RDNS at least in this context.
To some extent InviZible already offers some/most of the features we've in Netguard and personalDNSfilter as well. So it's not about comparison vs RDNS, IMO it's about having the freedom of choice. I don't think it's a bad idea to add guide for RDNS especially as it's a FOSS project which actively promotes InviZible Pro (in their Telegram group bot configured to suggest "how to configure with InviZible") 🙂
So it's not about comparison vs RDNS
I'm just wondering about real use cases. When people prefer to use these two apps together.

Has me wondering too. The only thing I can think of is adding I2P functionality and/or TOR while keeping a more powerful firewall and VPN support (proxied wireguard) via the RethinkApp.
I have finally found time for instructions.
@ignoramous I hope everything's correct? https://github.com/Gedsh/InviZible/wiki/InviZible-and-Rethink

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the manual mentioned. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong place.
Thanks 🙏
hope everything's correct?
Yes.
A note that Rethink won't connect to InviZible if VPN is in lockdown mode (ie, Block connections without VPN is turned ON) could be added for completeness.
btw, is there a way to programmatically setup InviZible (Tor / I2P), then connect to it (Rethink has a similar integration with Orbot using plain Intents)?

There used to be a bot for common user queries including InviZible Pro back in 2022/23. Sorry, I'm not active on their Telegram/Matrix group/room so not sure :(

This is a common situation for such a setup, because in lockdown mode, excluded apps cannot connect to the internet. And you need to exclude InviZible.

Added.

You can also start and stop modules using intents. See Enable script control in Common Settings. You can also monitor the state of modules when this option is enabled via broadcasts. But I don't have a tutorial on this as no one has been interested in this before. https://github.com/Gedsh/InviZible/blob/master/tordnscrypt/src/main/java/pan/alexander/tordnscrypt/modules/ModulesStatusBroadcaster.kt
