What is/are your question(s)?

Hi there,

I am using Newpipe 0.27.2. Recently, to stop my Internet from being used by others, I had to enable the firewall. The default rule is to block traffic to any IP address from accessing internet. Unless I set a Allow rule for a specific IP address or a Range, any device connected to my Router will not have access to internet.

But I have few reserved IP addresses which are MAC bound and for that range there is full "ALLOW always on any to any" access. So, on my phone I can access Internet without any problem, other than NewPipe. I don't know why NewPipe on my phone is unable to access Internet while my phone can access internet. Even Youtube app works without any problem.

Extra info for the Developers:
I have noticed this strange behaviour on WhatsApp too. By default I can chat and share videos, files or any Media normally, Even Video calls and voice calls all work through WhatsApp. But when I try to share youtube links... WhatsApp can't generate Thumbnails.

Please note the time in screenshot to understand how long it took. Still it is not consistent. I tried it again and it kept showing me the red loading circle, even after an hour.
