I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don’t mind breaking stuff.
If not all 3 of these, AFWall is probably the best to go with. Having a way to not only block Apps, but also define your own custom firewall rules is very powerful. For example, I redirect all DNS requests to my own DNS with a custom rule (for apps, like Termux, using hardcoded DNS lookups instead of what the phone is set to)
How do you make AFwall and vpn working together, when i tried it said one or the other.
This is where rooting the phone is required. I use wireguard without root and have AFWall granted with root at bootup so it doesn’t require acting as a VPN
So you’re suggesting more “network” control. I like it.
I use NetGuard, but I don’t see any benefits from having root in it.
Hmm, interesting, I think the closest thing that I use now is TrackerControl.
I’m using my VPN “socket” with TrackerControl.
Yeah, and also easy to mess up connections so they no longer work properly. 😆
That seems cool. For now, I’m using Mullvad’s public DNS service. See their dns-blocklists.
I also know App Manager, and I’m using it and with root it with ease blocks any necessary trackers and other things. Have you tried it?
