Without root there's no other way to route all traffic and android doesn't allow chained vpn's.
It's an excellent app, source code is on github, eventually ended up paying for it. There's far too many apps and system binaries dialing out, it's funny to watch in realtime. What's more amazing is how nothing breaks even when you lock down everything but the few things that need it. Blocking is fine grained and you'll have to scroll through a massive list if you choose to view system apps, but quite happy overall.
Main benefit of the paid option is pcap files. Free version does everything most will want. It's on fdroid.

With a network of Apple iPad/Mac, Windows and Android devices, it's over 25% of all DNS requests that I block. Useless once you take your phone off WiFi of course, but still baffling the amount of metric abuse going on, and entirely without warning (am within the EU so concerned by it!)
