Great. Hope you will release an app that does all of the 3 items requested.
I tried RethinkDNS yesterday. I think it is primarily useful for devices running Android 8 or lower, because Google introduced the PrivateDNS feature with Android 9. This app allows for controlling that aspect more minutely, something unnecessary for the average user.
The Firewall feature is less useful compared to NetGuard or Karma Firewall. That’s because I didn’t find the option to allow LAN-only access for apps. It is either full network access or none. I don’t know why the LAN-only option is not available with any of the OSes.
Also, simply whitelisting apps under Firewall didn’t work. You have to mandatorily ‘exclude’ apps from both DNS & Firewall (which they call as ‘exclude’) for apps to be able to connect to the internet. Unless this is a bug, the ‘whitelist’ feature (which allows apps to bypass the firewall but not DNS) is useless because it does nothing.
RethinkDNS didn’t do anything that NetGuard or Karma Firewall can’t do. On the contrary, it was less functional (no LAN-only access feature that these apps have) than those two. So not useful for me, unless I am missing something.
I didn’t say that I don’t like the app. I said the app was unable to block trackers. If blocking ‘intents’ is possible with ADB, I may give it a try when time permits.
Not sure what makes you say that. Those phones too use pretty much the same hardware. And these days spyware is introduced at the hardware level, so I am not sure if these phones are indeed as secure as they claim to be.
