Android - 2 VPNs at same time? Auto connect to vpn on app launch?

VPN

Sorry gang, not super knowledable in this area. I currently use Adguard 100% of the time on my phone which has been great. I am also looking to implement something like tailscale to use more like a real vpn to connect to my NAS when outside of my home. Just curious if that means I need to disconnect Adguard when I do this?

Also on a similar note, is there any mechanism to have a VPN auto start (and close) based on a specific app running? For example, I launch AppABC and then it automatically turns on and connects to tailscale. When I leave the app it closes? More of a conveinence thing. Thanks!

Android can’t use 2 VPNs at once. Try VPN or Tasker apps for auto start. Tricky to set up, but worth it. Why do you want this?

If you’re using tailscale to your home network, set up pihole at home and point your phone’s DNS at that.

Then you only need 1 VPN.

That’s insanely useful.

Let’s say that you want to use AdAway like a VPN because you can’t unlock your bootloader (looking at you Xiaomi) to get root, and that you also want to use your own VPN.

 

Now you can’t. : '(
