  • iOS DNSCloak - pasting from clipboard?
    I'm not able to reproduce that behavior on the AppStore nor TestFlight versions. Relatedly, it's worth noting the App Store version hasn't received an update for quite a while (~1 year) from the maintainer while the TestFlight version has been maintained fairly regularly since then. However, the source code also doesn't appear maintained anymore so it's arguable the TestFlight version shouldn't be considered... Source: over 2 years ago
