Is there any solution to ban facebook from your android phone like you can from a browser like firefox through a facebook container? I would imagine something like a firewall that keeps your phone from being able to connect to URLs or IPs owned by Facebook.
- robjan 8y agoYou can download an app which changes your DNS settings (without root it creates a local VPN) then point it to a server that blackholes Facebook
- franky47 8y agoI use Exodus Privacy [1] to learn more about what SDKs and permissions are used by the app before even installing it, and as a last line of defense, NetGuard [2] which is an open-source VPN-based firewall that lets you block requests to some servers on a per-app basis (some features are paid).

- djaychela 8y agoWell, using exodus privacy to look up some apps that I use has just opened up a portal to hell for me! I had no idea about the depth of the tracking that was happening - I foolishly thought it was only browsing issues I needed to worry about until reading this thread and then looking on there. Thanks for opening my eyes to this!
- irishdude5186 8y agoI would recommend blockada. Its open source.
- irishdude5186 8y agoAlso, it gives you a real eye opener as to what apps are sending out..
- ignoramous 8y agoBlockada doesn't do DoH or DoT yet. You should try https://getintra.org https://getintra.org and use it with AdGuard DNS [0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18788410 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18788410
- random878 8y agoYou can ban Facebook from your phone by choosing not use it.
