Hello.  
None of my services are being tunneled, but everything works on my PC/laptop. If I am on my local network and specify an existing host in Intercept (for example, service0.mydnsdomain.lan), I get a `DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG` error in my browser. I also tried manually specifying the Ziti DNS address in the Wi-Fi connection settings, but the error was the same. Then I tried specifying a non-existent address (for example, http.ziti). Then I saw the error `DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN` (DNS record not found). Then I checked Ziti's performance when specifying an IP address. A timeout occurs as if the traffic is not going through Ziti. Then I checked via the mobile network and got the `DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN` error.  
How can I solve this problem?  
I can add that I also tried checking via dig in Termux, but the DNS records were not found either, and dig says that they were obtained via 8.8.8.8. Perhaps this is an override from Termux, and I'm not sure if it should show the correct results, but the browser should work.

Can you submit your feedback zip file here via DM (or some other way, google drive share etc) Main Menu -\> Feedback.

What your describing is pretty odd.I'd also unwind any manual changes you made unless you know what you're doing (I do not) with Android. 🙂

@ekoby any of this ring any bells at all?

I am currently connected to my local network.  
Existing DNS name: timeout (firewall)  
Non-existent DNS name: NXDOMAIN  
I still haven't figured out how to send DMs here. I added a reply to your previous message.  
The log seems to show an error everywhere: can no longer bind service

Oops. My mistake. I set isAdmin and expected it to work. I clearly set all the required attributes. Everything is working now. Sorry.
