  https://f-droid.org/packages/org.jak_linux.dns66/ https://f-droid.org/packages/org.jak_linux.dns66/ Been using this for years, though I don't often use ad-serving apps anyhow, so it's mostly just a second layer of defence behind firefox/u-block (and noscript, to be honest, but I understand not everyone wants to deal with that.)

  Adaway is also very nice and simple. Allows for custom hosts lists so requires root. I think they had a VPN option as well but haven't needed it.

  Honest question: Does anyone here successfully use android without f-droid? From what I can tell, non-nonsense opensource utilities are simply undiscoverable on the app store.

  It is/was fantastic and an essential application for android. It is the first app I install before letting a new android phone connect to the internet. edit: the app is still maintained & the dev is still active on the Netguard thread, although there was a prior issue with google where he had stopped development https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-6-0-netguard-no-root-firewall.3233012/page-686 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-6-0-netguard-no-root-... https://netguard.me/ https://netguard.me/

    He only stopped for a few days before the Google issue ended up being resolved. He's still developing. https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases/tag/1.1957 https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/releases/tag/1.1957
