Well.. who have a Lollipop device and also use a VPN service affected by this... ;) Kind of a narrow set of parameters there.

Thanks!

As it is, looking at the code, I noticed that part of the problem may be that Fennec doesn't actually use the SDK DNS routines, probably to cater to very old Android versions. I'm building one with a fix to actually use the SDK routine right now -- if that's all that's needed then it'll be a rather painless operation. I'll shoot you a PM when I have the build.

Great!

I the mean while, I am upgrading to lollipop so this works out well. I'll keep my email opened.

I'll put the beta up in the Google Play beta channel for others to use. It'll be used at your own risk.

It'll probably take a few hours. It's Google Play.

I don't know. You just need a Google account as far as I know. But if it doesn't work then I'll just make the APK available for sideloading. I don't have time to figure out what odd way Google Play is apparently doing this.
