I want the features these things offer without the requirement to use a VPN. That gives too much trust to the VPN operator. All of this can operate on device at the OS/IP stack layer. I use Little Snitch on the Mac and it works great.

I think, on Android, with root you could do a lot more and not have to use VPNs at all. > That gives too much trust to the VPN operator. Local VPN apps like NetGuard are open-source, btw. And server VPNs like ProtonVPN have no-logs policy. I'm curious, what other guarantees are you looking for?
- SomeHacker44 8y agoGuarantees? None. I don't want all my traffic routed through some random VPN company's servers. Small companies are probably also judgement-proof, as even if they really harmed you, what could you gain by suing them? Why would I want to use a VPN to enforce access controls my OS can do just as well?
- ignoramous 8y agoI don't think little-snitch can tackle anti-censorship or can really prevent ISPs from snooping up on you? VPNs like Orbot might be required then.
