Then run `sudo systemctl restart strongswan`. DNS filtering for Wireguard clients has to be disabled on each client device separately by modifying the settings in the app, or by directly modifying the `DNS` setting on the `clientname.conf` file. If all else fails, we recommend deploying a new Algo server without the adblocking feature enabled. ## Wasn't IPSEC backdoored by the US government?
