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.

    So you’re suggesting more “network” control. I like it.

    AFWall+

    I use NetGuard, but I don’t see any benefits from having root in it.

    PcapDroid

    Hmm, interesting, I think the closest thing that I use now is TrackerControl.

    AdAway

    I’m using my VPN “socket” with TrackerControl.

    define your own custom firewall rules is very powerful

    Yeah, and also easy to mess up connections so they no longer work properly. 😆

    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)

    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?
