Privacy Central blocks local traffic

  • /e/ version: My own build of 1.0
  • Device model(s):lake (Motorola G7 Plus)
  • Device rooted: yes/no no

Summary

Privacy Central app should allow local traffic through VPN. With it enabled, I cannot get to my local network.

The problem

I have a few routers and I have to disable the browser and/or my router software and anything else that hits my local networks inside of Privacy Central.

I.E. 192.168.. (I have more than one subnets)

Steps to reproduce!

With privacy central enabled and the browser check marked (blue) to filter traffic through privacy central, try hitting a device like a router on 192.168.x.x.

It will hang or fail.
