Sorry, I just checked the "Advanced Privacy" settings, but I see nothing about restricting network access for a particular app. I'd be very interested in that feature though - do you have more pointers how exactly to restrict a single app?
- jqpabc123 3y agoSorry, on e/OS this is under app settings where you can uncheck "Allow network access" for apps that have it.
- _rdvw 3y agoThis is just a feature inherited from LineageOS, not anything special to /e/OS.
- jqpabc123 3y agoYes. And the same applies to GrapheneOS does it not?
- _rdvw 3y agoNo, GrapheneOS has its own alternative implementation where users can completely revoke network permission from the app, it has been proven more robust a few times now, eg. https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:%2213-firewall-bypassable-vpn-fix%2 https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:%2213-firewall-bypassab... My DivestOS features both the GrapheneOS and LineageOS implementation, and I document the former as block and the latter as "data restriction" (eg. to simply block over cellular) as it cannot guarantee a real block.
