• Fairphone 6 is switching to a new design that's even more sustainable

  In your given scenario (no Google Services, no microG), compatibility is the issue. I dont use Android because I like it. I use it because I am forced to use it, without it I cant connect to corporate VPN, cant even take public transport (actually I can use NFC card and take a lot of care never to lose money on it, to drive to first place where I can charge it). Banking software. Update firmware for my headset.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Sniffnet – monitor your Internet traffic

  There is OpenSnitch [0] on Linux, but it us a bit clumsy to setup. I tried it once and didn't get far, but have it again on my todo list. Not aware of something similar on Linux. On Android there is NetGuard [1] which is awesome (not affiliated, just a happy customer). [0] https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• The Global Surveillance Free-for-All in Mobile Ad Data

  Additionally to an OpenWRT [1] Wi-Fi router or Adguard Home [2] server that you can run for yourself, there's also this excellent project called NetGuard [3]. The developer got kicked out of the Play Store for bogus reasons, and had to continue to develop it as an externally funded effort. Support him, buy a pay what you want license, and give him a couple bucks for it if you value open source software like this.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ash HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?

  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.

• What if I have two phones? One for real life use, one for social media?

  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: about 3 years ago

• Unihertz Jelly 2: Root, De-bloat & FireWall.

  I personally found NetGuard, an easy to use FOSS, non Root, VPN based FireWall to be a sweet spot for me, just make sure Settings > Intelligent assistant > App blocker ; NetGuard & remove all restrictions is done. I use blacklist mode & only allow a few APPs that I want to get past the firewall, but remember that blocking an APP's internet might break it's functionality, or things like getting OS updates.

• Possible to protect privacy against Samsung?

  I can highly recommend NetGuard as a way to stop apps (Even system apps) from phoning home. Just set the filtering mode to whitelist and 'filter system apps' to yes. Of course a determined attacker could bypass it. (apple's pre-installed apps phone home bypassing any VPN). Source: over 3 years ago

• is it unsafe to use adguard premium apks?

  Yeah, it certainly will look normal on the front end but we don't know what's going on in the backend. That's where all the shady business takes place. You can scan the apk for malwares and stuff here to make sure if it has malware but it's not 100 % accurate. Plus it doesn't scan for data collection code or if it's being sent to a bad place. And in my honest opinion if you can't pay for adguard either stick with... Source: almost 4 years ago
