We are investigating this issue, but the quick workaround it to disable DNS Encryption (DoH).

`Advanced tab -> Networks -> All Networks -> uncheck "Encrypt DNS".`

Confirm it is not encrypting by tapping on:

`Home tab -> "blocked xx ads and trackers" -> scroll down -> see "Encrypting DNS".`

This problem does not seem to occur in iOS, or when using [Blokada Plus](https://community.blokada.org/t/what-is-blokada-plus-vpn/37).

Can you please let me know if the same problem takes place in Blokada+? I’m thinking of upgrading but I want to be sure that I won’t be having issues with Brave during browsing.

Blokada Plus does not have this issue since it is doing encryption differently.

I was having these issues but i found a way to fix it. Open brave and search for something, then go to blokada “activity” list and try to find the blocked links “[improving.duckduckgo.com](http://improving.duckduckgo.com)” and “[links.duckduckgo.com](http://links.duckduckgo.com)” and then just allow both of them, hope it works for u as much as it did for me, and sorry for the bad english
