Blokada: Blokada 5 - VPN connection set as metered

[feutl]

With Blokada 5 some apps stopped working properly. One was the Nextcloud Client and its Auto-Upload feature which always detected a metered WiFi as soon as Blokada 5 was running.

Blokada 4 worked without issues.

There is a community entry already
https://community.blokada.org/t/issue-blokada-vpn-connection-set-as-metered/5105

But I did not want to register for another service and I could not find the issue on github, I thought it would be good to create it and link.

Android: 10
Blokdada: 5.2.0

Any news on this?
This makes Blokada 5 unusable for me, because I must deactivate it to get some apps to work, which is than allowing the others to start tracking me again.

Hello,

5.3 just released and it delivers the solution for the metered network behaviour. You can download it from our website, https://blokada.org or from GitHub.
Give it a try and let us know if you still face the reported issue.

Is fixed, but I needed to uninstall and "reinstall" the app to make it work.
Don't know if this was a issue on my site or if this is a common problem when changing the VPN settings.
Thanks
