Many thanks. Openwrt+Openclash definitely works, but I was wondering if we also need to add this rule, "- DOMAIN-SUFFIX,xn--ngstr-lra8j.com,DIRECT" to it
According to Bing newly empowered by ChatGPT or whatever that's called,
"- DOMAIN-SUFFIX,xn--ngstr-lra8j.com,DIRECT is a rule that tells your device to connect directly to the domain xn--ngstr-lra8j.com without using a proxy or VPN1. This domain is owned by Google and is used by Google Play to download apps. Some users may encounter problems with Google Play downloads if they use a proxy or VPN that routes their traffic to a different region, such as Hong Kong. This is because Google Play may detect their location and direct them to a server in mainland China, which has a different API address (services.googleapis.cn) and points to Google’s Beijing server. However, if the server in mainland China is also proxied to another region, the download may fail or be very slow.To solve this problem, some users suggest adding the rule - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,xn--ngstr-lra8j.com,DIRECT to their proxy or VPN configuration, so that the device can connect directly to the server in mainland China and download the apps faster. Alternatively, some users suggest changing the DNS settings or blocking the services.googleapis.cn address to force Google Play to use the normal API address (services.googleapis.com) and a server outside mainland China.
I hope this helps you understand what - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,xn--ngstr-lra8j.com,DIRECT means and why it may be useful for some Google Play users."
