Add Custom Routing Rules with Predefined Domain Lists for Local Access

rezaafz opened this issue · 0 comments

I suggest adding a feature for custom routing rules with predefined domain lists. Currently, when connected to Orbot, I can't access local websites, requiring frequent connect/disconnect actions which are frustrating.

With this feature, users could bypass Orbot for selected local sites using a provided list of domains for different countries, making the process seamless and user-friendly. There’s no need for developers to gather these domain lists, as they are already available on GitHub. For instance, the list of Iranian websites can be found here: https://github.com/bootmortis/iran-hosted-domains.

Benefits:

  1. Improved Experience: Seamless access to local websites without disconnecting from Orbot.
  2. Ease of Use: Predefined domain lists eliminate the need for manual entry.
  3. Broader Adoption: Attracts more users needing access to local sites.
  4. Increased Control: Enhances flexibility and functionality.

This addition would address a major pain point, making Orbot more versatile. Thank you for considering this suggestion.
