Hi guys,
I saw an old thread in Wilderssecurity about Greyshirts No-Root Firewall (Grey Shirts NoRoot Firewall for ANDROID) and it was an interesting read. While I use another alternative "Mobiwol No-Root firewall" I had not tried to use VPN with it. The thread says that in android you cannot run 2 VPNs as the no-root firewalls channel the connection to a VPN or some sort of VPN.
Come to think of it, is there a no-root android firewall that does not use VPN?
I have Blokada but it keeps shutting itself off when I use Mobiwol. I see that Blokada also uses VPN so as android does not allow 2 VPNs to run I am left to select eitherto run Blokada to contain ads or Mobiwol.
May I ask your advice which is the better choice there....? Use Blokada to block ads but leave the other apps without a sentry (Mobiwol) or use Mobiwol to sentry my apps but suffer the unbearable ads.
When I use Mobiwol I do not use my apps but I use the either Brave browser or DuckDuckGo browser to get rid of the ads.
Can you experts enlighten this non-geek please...
Thanks a many!
