I've set up a phone with Rethink DNS as a permanent VPN, so nothing can come through, I tried putting KDE Connect in the Bypass Universal list, but it still fails to discover devices on the network and in turn it can't be discovered by others itself.
I tried without VPN active and it all works, of course. Is it possible for the 2 to coexist? If so, what settings should I change?

    if you use Android's built-in setting to set up DNS instead of using an app that uses the VPN slot, you might have more success.

    also, you might want toggling "block connections without VPN" off in system settings, I had to disable it when using KDE Connect with Mullvad.

      I'd like to use Rethink DNS (forcefully set to DNS+Firewall) because it keeps a record on-device of the connections that apps tried to establish. So as I understand it's not possible to have both then?
