I would recommend RethinkDNS instead of NetGuard, it has the same firewall capabilities but it also lets you change DNS (with Dnscrypt / DoT / DoH) and also lets you connect to a Wireguard VPN. It's amazing.

Oh man that's cool! Going to be switching now, thanks!

Forgot to mention also the possibility of adding blocklists to block ads, trackers and everything you want. It's really the best of its kind!

This is my new app, netguard has been removed, thank you!

Is there anyway to blacklist new apps so they are automatically blocked from network access? I can't seem to find that functionality

Edit: Nevermind there is a toggle saying block newly installed apps, it was actually easy to find, my bad

How to connect to a wireguard vpn? Is protonvpn one?

[-] linucs@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

In the proxy tab you can add wireguard profiles. E.g. for the protonvpn one you need to download the wireguard configuration files and add it there

[-] JairJacom@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Ty so much for showing how. I managed and did it. Do I need to run protonvpn as well? Not sure what comes next. First time using Rethinkdns but I have both installed on my phone and from I can tell I can only use one vpn app at a time.

[-] linucs@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah Android only lets you run one VPN app at a time, you just need RethinkDNS because it acts as a firewall, (proton)VPN wireguard client, adblocker and DNS resolver

[-] JairJacom@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I think I now got it, in the wireguard profile I added an app I wanted to use this profile and checked online for myip and it didn't show mine. So basically, since Android let's you run 1 vpn service, rethinkdns can do this by adding a wireguard profile from a different vpn service like protonvpn in my case. This is very clever and convenient. I hope my understanding is correct.
