[QUOTE="windscribe, post: 940578, member: 58131"] Redirect rule will do exactly what you want. ControlD links your IPs automatically when you interact with the website OR when you use DoH/DoT. It will work in parallel from your home IP using legacy DNS, your phone using DoT on cellular, and your roaming laptop using DoH on a random hotspot. In cases of your IP changing on your home network, and you're forced to use Legacy DNS because there is no support for DoH/DoT, what you can do is configure DoH directly in the browser that you use on this network, or something that generates DNS traffic. If your IP suddenly changes, the DoH/DoT query from your home network will authorize your IP to use Legacy DNS. This eliminates the need for Dynamic DNS setups using 3rd party services. Multi-device support will be added by end of June, we didn't want to hold back the release for this. We're against analytics as that requires query logging for all your activity. This is why the query log you can enable only lasts for 2hrs, and it's not stored in any permanent place. It's streamed directly from the process memory into your browser with no permanent storage. This is a Windscribe product after all.... Ad for granular blocklists, less is more in this case. We do not expose individual community blocklists, because they are riddled with false positives and have no meaning for most people. Nobody knows what they are or what the difference is unless they're super into Pi-Hole, DNS, etc. 99% of people are not. Our blocklists are based on top of 27 different lists (~1M domains), with our own blocklists added on top, and most importantly false positives removed based on 2 years of community feedback from millions of Windscribe users. Our combined lists are much more effective than random Github lists you're probably using. Those lists are compiled by people as a hobby, we do this for a living and we have a large community that reports issues to us. Our custom whitelist has thousands of domains that are falsely blocked by most community lists. I recommend just using our list, and see for yourself.
