Description
DDG App Tracking protection: Android mobile app, version: 5.143.1. #1: Can no longer connect to the Internet when using DDG app tracking protection. This began about 4 days ago. Prior to this there was no problem connecting daily. All 200+ apps cannot connect now. No error message. Uninstall/reinstall/clear cache/reboot do not work. Disable DDG Browser VPN, all apps connect without any problem. Too many apps affected to report each singlely. (Your app allows only single app problem reporting, a big hassle!) Google Play did an update the day these problems began. #2: the app is constantly crashing on app startup. Takes 3 or 4 tries before it will stay open and I can use it. No error message. My device: Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, SM-P610, OS: Android 12, Browser: Chrome.

Compare behavior with the VPN disabled and verify that all apps regain connectivity and the app opens reliably before treating the issue as resolved.
