NetGuard VS AFWall+

Use briar. Use LineageOS without gapps (aka without Google Play Services). Obviously don't use Meta or Google apps, because that's where the backdoors are for governments. Use AppWarden to enable/disable/verify the usage of known trackers in your apps. Use NetGuard as an Android firewall.

Now is it possible to use different devices and not be identified? yes.. But it takes work.You need to isolate the device and cut off every connection it has to Facebook, including system level apps. If you're using an Android a quick look at the "new phone" after installing Netguard will show you that many default apps make connections to Facebook. Source: 9 months ago

If filtering is done locally on the device itself (i.e. Like in AdAway, DNS66, NetGuard or personalDNSfilter) it's not. Source: 10 months ago

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

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