Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/2521

As has been widely reported in the press, Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation distributed a guideline according to which Russian services now detect the presence of VPNs on Android devices. In this Habr article: https://habr.com/ru/articles/1022422/ , the author described an algorithm for hiding the external IP when implemented in a VPN client and created a proof of concept client (with source code link). Please consider the possibility of implementing something similar in the Amnezia VPN client. In the current version, the RKNHardering application ( https://github.com/xtclovver/RKNHardering ), built using that same guideline, reveals the VPN’s external IP even when split tunneling is enabled, which is definitely not good.

Now a forced curl on the tun interface shows the IP address of the VPN server.
A solution was developed in issue NekoBox: everything that does not fall under the rules of split tunneling routing should be sent to block or direct.

maybe it will be useful https://github.com/MatsuriDayo/NekoBoxForAndroid/issues/1153
