Not working with Mullvad VPN
The -v
and/or -raw
/-debug
, -stats
flags should indicate that there is a problem.
From their website:
If you are using the Mullvad VPN app, you are automatically safe from DNS leaks. All of your DNS requests get rerouted to our own non-logging DNS resolver instead of to your ISP or a public DNS provider.
I suppose that this network filtering and the potentially high rate of DNS requests might cause malfunctioning. I would propose the following:
- Updating the docs warning users of possible packet loss while using DNS UDP with VPNs
- Adding a new stats
Error/Packet Loss
counting those packets that didn't get any network reply
@forgedhallpass Would this satisfy your request?
@Mzack9999 yes, I think that would be helpful.
Todo:
- [x] Update README.md: using VPN might cause network packet losses
- [x] ~~Consider adding a packet loss/packet without answer metric (optional)~~ (not planned)
