A characteristic I previously mentioned regarding how the VPN operates via the Zima client persists. When connecting through the app and accessing Home Assistant app, for example, it works normally, allowing you to manage your home remotely; the same applies to Jellyfin and the web interface. However, filters like AdGuard and Pi-hole do not function, ads and blocked sites still appear, as if the connection were bypassing them. As I noted earlier, the ZeroTier One app, when using the same ZimaOS VPN, successfully utilizes AdGuard or Pi-hole.
