Indian Government developed UPI app not allowing me to use the app w/o turning off Adguard. (infosec.pub)

Update: In Adguard turn the blocking method to NXDOMAIN so it won’t give this error. It still gives a warning that “you’re using a VPN”. Edit: I am on iOS 26.

Broader Context: All Indian Banking apps have been instructed to not allow the use of VPN slot while using a banking app. The Central Bank has also ordered to disallow usage if Developers Options are turned on. Apart from that globally all banking apps require Google Play Services and Boot-loader to be locked. I also found on some reddit post that they are not allowing the use of a 5 year old + phones for banking.

Blocking or allowing domains should not mess up SSL. Is there anything else filtering or intercepting the trafic ?

[–] sonofearth@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nope when I turn off Adguard DNS implementation (which uses the phone’s VPN slot), the app works normally.

What's configured for blocked domains? If you answer with a custom IP the SSL won't match the domain name. Try nxdomain instead.

It was on default (i.e 0.0.0.0). Switching to NXDOMAIN worked. Thanks.

Don't delete your post, update it with the proper info so others know the fix in the future

[–] sonofearth@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yep did that just now. Also added a context.

Usually DNSBL will do this, yes.
