Invizible Pro as proxy (lemm.ee)

I found a tutorial on how to use Invizible Pro in proxy mode with Netguard. I figured I'd give it a try since it only was a few settings and used DNScrypt and Tor. Turned out Tor or rather the TCP it used was buggy with some apps I use so I disabled it. I have a question that you guys could answer. Netguard still has quad9 set as DNS, the tutorial said to leave it. It also had me set port forwarding to an external server for both TCP and UDP. Now how do any DNS requests from my phone go through the proxy instead of to quad9? I know it's a simple answer but I had a stroke 3 years ago and have some trouble concentrating.

According to Invizible's instructions, you shouldn't have to port forward to an external IP. https://invizible.net/en/invizible-and-netguard-firewall/

Nobody is an external server. And that is the tutorial it me a week to find 😃

Nobody is a user name in the Linux environment. The IP for the port forwarding are to the local host. https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/fcg1re/o_found_an_app_called_nobody/
