I am having an issue with connecting it seems specific hardware as a secondary device to a primary device to use Every Proxy.  It seems that using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has issues connecting to Every Proxy as it works very intermittently and mostly not at all.  I have installed the EP Network Bridge app with Windscribe as Split Tunneling with Every Proxy app itself the only app to not use the VPN, SurfShark with the Bypasser option turned on with only Every Proxy app itself specified on the primary device.

On the affected device setting up the WiFi connection with the EP proxy server and port specified I get no data traffic showing in Every Proxy when testing trying to download web pages, large files (250MB +) with the affected device.  It defaults to connecting to the primary device HotSpot only instead of thru Every Proxy/EP Bridge then thru my VPN (Surfshark or Windscribe).   On the affected device checkip.amazonaws.com  shows an IP coming from the primary devices phone carrier (Tmobile in this case) instead of from the VPN.   

I verified the following working secondary devices connected to the same primary device resultant IP each time by using http://checkip.amazonaws.com/ which all showed the VPN IP.

I performed the following tests with different secondary devices connected to the same primary device which all work correctly and show an IP coming from the VPN.

The primary device is a Pixel 9 Pro phone running Android 14.

EP Setup:   IP Address:  0.0.0.0, Port 8080  which exposes 192.0.0.4 and  172.18.11.218

Secondary devices that work:
-HP Windows 10 PC connected with a proxy server specified as 192.0.0.4:8080:  -checkip.amazonaws.com  shows an IP from the VPN.

-Samsung A14 5G Phone (Android 13) connected with proxy server of 192.0.0.4:8080checkip.amazonaws.com  shows an IP from the VPN.

-Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet from 2014 (Android 6) connected with proxy server of 192.0.0.4:8080checkip.amazonaws.com  shows an IP from the VPN.

Does Not Work:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra:  Does not connect to Every Proxy and defaults to using primary device hotspot only with no routing to VPN.

I also tried the following by using a different primary device and slightly older version of Every Proxy v13.11 to try to rule out the current version being the issue by moving my sim card to a different primary device then setting up my VPN app and Every Proxy+ Network Bridge app on different secondary devices.  I received the same results as above.

Alternate Primary Devices:
-Samsung Galaxy S10 phone (Android 12)
-Samsung A14 5G phone (Android 13)

Not sure if you have a way in EP to turn on logging to try to see what the issue with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is or may know of why this specified device has issues with EP.

Thanks

Just an update that I decided to factory reset the tablet to see if that would clear up this issue.  Once I factory reset I was able to get the routing over several tests and turning the hotspot/VPN/EveryProxy on/off on the primary device to go thru the primary device VPN rather than it using the primary device hotspot only for internet.  checkip.amazonaws.com  on the secondary device now for all tests shows the VPN IP rather than the phone carrier IP.
