[QUOTE="klepto, post: 1068720, member: 87970"] I have a background in netsec/network administration, I also like things to work and simplicity. I've used Netguard for years but sadly it seems the only place to get it in tact is from github. Google is cracking down on ad blockers, firewalls and other apps sadly. So I tried Rethink DNS + Firewall. I like that you can use a wireguard config and have a very secure setup. It also gives you a lot of information on what is being filtered and why. You can use your own dns over https(Nextdns for me) or choose one of usual like quad9 and the dreaded cloudflare.. Sadly there are too many options in this app and it prevented a few of my important apps from working.. even after I saw the udp port it was using and opened them up. No dice!! I had to uninstall it and go back to my old favorite Netguard. Rethink DNS has tons of features and really is a kiler app but due to the layers of a firewall, dns filter, and proxy it all doesn't work together in harmony.
