Dear Amnezia VPN Development Team and Mr. Mazay Banzaev

I’d like to share some recurring issues I have experienced with Amnezia VPN, which I have previously reported. These bugs affect usability and the overall performance of the service. Here are the main issues that need attention:

Split-Tunneling Issues: Some applications (like Steam) cannot connect to the network when using this feature, showing an "error 101" message, which persists even after trying different settings.
Stuck on "Connecting...": Occasionally, the app gets stuck on "Connecting..." and fails to establish a VPN connection. This issue often continues even after restarting and seems related to the split-tunneling feature.
DNS Leaks: In certain configurations, DNS requests bypass the encrypted tunnel, potentially compromising user privacy, even when the VPN is active.

I hope this feedback is helpful and that these issues can be resolved in future updates. Thank you to your team for working to provide a secure and open internet experience, especially in restricted environments.

Best regards,
SinaBigo

I've got the same "stuck on Connecting" issue. This is due to tunnel hanging after system restart, because app leaves tunnel and tun2socks process when terminated on system shutdown. You can close app manually before system shutdown or just use a script I've uploaded here that will terminate this process on system startup until this will be fixed: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1258

I second this as this might actually become a very serious issue if not fixed. Especially with DNS leaking and split-tunneling not working properly.

Baffles me how these basic security concerns get ignored.
