FR: Allow traffic from ALL apps in Pause mode #1364
Comments
Apps that are blocked (wifi or mobile) will continue to be blocked even in pause mode, but if Rethink was also in Lockdown (aka What are these apps you're unable to connect to?

So what pause does in lockdown mode exacly? " // allow when firewall is paused: as a placeholder RULE8(bypass app) is used Thats how I understood it when created #1134 |
Pause has always blocked existing blocked apps (with or without Lockdown). To allow a blocked app to be able to connect, you'd have to remove those rules (regardless of whether the VPN is Lockdown or not), as Pause won't cut it. In Pause mode, allowed apps use:

So in lockdown it just changed apps from "Allowed" to "Bypass" essentially? I see, my idea of pause was more broad, well I created #1134 so I can allow all apps for some time for updates etc, I understand what you want to do with Pause now. But maybe we could have an option/setting (which on/off would be saved) inside pause menu, like a tickbox "Temporary allow all apps" which would also use RULE8 for lockdown but for all apps |
No, Bypass doesn't skip per-app rules, nor does it use
I see this setting as a foot-gun. Most apps I block (calculator, flash light, govt apps), I want them to remain blocked; and unblocking them ALL in Pause mode is a foot-gun (just so one other app that's updating something would work). Pausing individual apps is unsupported, and so, the closest you come to that UX is, unblocking said app, getting work done, then blocking it back again. Way better than unblocking all blocked apps, even if temporarily. I'll think about it some more, but as of today, I am not inclined to allowing ALL apps in Pause mode. |
Yes, sorry for misunderstaing, thats what I meant, Bypass plus this two things
I get all your point and I also dont like like turning off blocking all apps when I want to update apps from store or update Android version. But this require multiple unblocks and some of them are gruped apps because they are system apps so than its even more confusing. Maybe we could find some nice way to do it witchout making something too complicated like profiles for blocking apps. I will try to think of something. For now all I imagined is "Allow in Pause mode" as an option inside app config, but thats not ideal. |
When I turn off Rethink using Pause in Lockdown mode the apps dont connect to internet
