Recently, I realized that it is not safe to expose my selfhosted
services on the public, even with https.

I didn't open my 443 port on my remote vps ubuntu, where I jave
vauldwarden, calendar, adguard, nginx, etc.

To access it, I also setup shadowsocks on my remote vps.

Now I can access my remote vps services from my local windows 10
laptop chrome brower via shadowsocks. It works well. I like it.

The thing is my android phone. I opened my android shadowsocks, and
tried to access my remote vps services, I failed. Because my android
shadowsocks didn't use my remote vps dns resolver.

How to resolve my android problem?

Thanks advance to your any comments

I personally would skip shadowsocks at all as it is slow and the
obfuscation is often not needed.

Have a look at wg-easy. Bascially an easy to use web frontend for a
wireguard VPN. Supports custom DNS servers and runs rock solid. The
official Wireguard mobile apps as well as Desktop apps runs great too.

Alternatively, have a look into running your own IKEv2 VPN:
