• F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser

  I considered what many others have done: installing Gboard and using Graphene's settings to deny it network access, potentially even going the extra step of using a root firewall like AFWall (something I plan on looking into later regardless) but I was curious to see if I could do without. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Is it possible to route all traffic through tor on LineageOS?

  AFWall+ can also do that. It needs root though. Source: over 1 year ago

• Audacity may collect "Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities’ requests (if any)" according to new privacy notice

  There's a fantastic app for Android called AFWall+ (use it, support it) which, if you have a rooted phone at least, lets you grant or deny network privileges to any app on your phone. It's remarkable how few apps actually need network access and how many that have no reason to still keep phoning home anyway. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Dumb questions for the next few days, (new toy time)

  It's not something that can be explained, really. You'd need to learn IPTables. AFWall+ is FOSS, also available on F-Droid and source code on GitHub so it's not all bad. Source: almost 3 years ago
