v2ray-core includes a workaround in system_dns_android.go that overrides net.DefaultResolver to use 8.8.8.8:53 for Android builds without CGO. This plugin builds with CGO_ENABLED=1, so the workaround is never needed — but the init() still fires, causing DNS loopback and DNS poisoning under Android VPN protect mode.

The upstream fix (v2fly/v2ray-core#3755, adding !cgo to the build tag) only landed in v5.52.0 which requires Go 1.25.5+, beyond the current toolchain.

Changes

  • app/src/main/go/v2ray-plugin/dns_android.go (new file): Adds an init() in the main package gated on //go:build android && cgo that resets net.DefaultResolver to its default after v2ray-core's package-level override runs:
//go:build android && cgo

func init() {
    net.DefaultResolver = &net.Resolver{}
}

Since main package inits execute after all dependency package inits, this cleanly undoes the override and restores the CGO-based system resolver.

  • Submodule updated from e9af1cd → includes this fix plus a pending golang.org/x/crypto bump (0.28.0 → 0.31.0).

  1. Submodule SHA is unreachable. 1fec42d3396602402accf360bbebd06963c1a3bc does not exist on shadowsocks/v2ray-plugin (git cat-file / API / ls-remote all fail). Any clone or CI git submodule update --init will break.

  2. Description does not match the diff. Body claims a new dns_android.go and an x/crypto bump, but this Android PR only moves the gitlink. The real plugin-side change was never published.

  3. Proper fix (in progress). Intent is correct (CGO builds must not force 8.8.8.8; see #44 and v2fly/v2ray-core#3755). Prefer either:

    • Bump v2ray-core to v5.52.0+ (//go:build android && !cgo) once the Go toolchain is ≥ 1.25.5, or
    • Publish a real plugin commit with only:
      //go:build android && cgo
      package main
      import "net"
      func init() { net.DefaultResolver = &net.Resolver{} }
      and point the submodule at that SHA.
  4. Drop the x/crypto bump from this change if it is in the private submodule commit — keep the DNS fix atomic (dependabot has #326 for crypto).

  5. Keep this draft closed/replaced once a reviewable PR lands; do not merge as-is.

Closing in favor of a reviewable fix:

Same approach as this draft described, without the unreachable gitlink / scope creep.

Superseded by #46 + shadowsocks/v2ray-plugin#335.
