Huge data use: Traffic wrongly attributed to TC

Open ThatIsAPseudo opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

I noticed that TC is using a enormous amount of data, whether in wifi or cellular. It reaches around 200-300 MB of daily data, and I've got a total of 1.2 GB for the last 4 days.

Is it some sort of "virtual data usage", i.e. data wrongly attributed to TC whereas it was actually established by another app, or data wrongly counted but actually blocked by TC thus not visible out of the smartphone ?

Yes, network traffic is routed through and attributed to TC.

I'd suggest adding a note to the Privacy notice on the Readme, so that users understand why the app, which isn't supposed to transfer data, may trigger network usage warning. IIRC some similar apps using the VPN connection such as DNS66 do not behave that way, hence my question.

Good point. I'll re-open this for reference!
