Netguard may not be so helpful with Android 10 due to per app internet permission toggles #279
Comments
We might remove that entire section as Orbot hasn't been updated since April and was removed from F-Droid. As for the reason for using github, that comes down to discoverability. Self hosting something like codeberg comes at the cost of certain features (such as github actions). Also discoverability. |
Orbot is updated on Their own Fdroid repo (Guardian Project). In fact, this repo is included in the Fdroid client by default, you just gotta enable it. |
I can confirm NetGuard is pretty useless in Android 10. |
There is no app internet permission toggle outside of Graphene afaik. There certainly wasn't one on my Android 10 phone. That said, I think the main argument against NetGuard is that its leaky and an app can bypass it if it wanted to. |
NetGuard's filtering features (where one can monitor and block individual IPs per-app) aren't replicated in AOSP 10+. AOSP's per-app toggles remove capability to access the network for those apps, and that's about it.
This is just a cheap shot. GitHub is where most FOSS developers collaborate (like it or not) because GitHub is not only free (for FOSS repositories), but also actively helps developers manage a community, support a project, and help with seamless cross-border sponsorships. And, ironically enough, that same 'private report' isn't complaining about PrivacyGuides being on GitHub or hosted on Vultr, smh. |
