Do you have the "Private DNS" setting enabled? Was looking for how to solve this problem then it hit me, I tried it, and it works as a workaround.

@valmar is your service provider assign IPv6 or IPv4 DNS address?

We have a fix what may be relevant for you. Soon the new version will be available on Google Play Store but until you can download the APK from here if you would like to take a try.

any updates? tried the mentioned apk, still same, tried the latest on Play Store too, the dashboard says the client needs an update, but that's the latest app on play store, seems like Android version is not actively worked on as other clients.

as the author mentioned, pinging ip works, the given domain doesn't in my case too though i am not self hosting it

Self hosting, domain doesn't work on Android, but works fine on Mac and Windows. (Using latest available versions.)

I can confirm on my Samsung Galaxy S10. Unfortunately domains do not get routed through a peer. But it works on iPhone 15 latest IOS as of time of posting.
