so Android is mostly developed by google so I assume it also sends a lot of data over to google. Is there an OS that’s privacy respecting?

The problem I’ve found with NetGuard is you can’t use it alongside your VPN

I wish more VPN apps had firewall settings built into it.

i didn’t try but i remember reading this:

NetGuard is a firewall application, so there is no intention to add VPN support. However, NetGuard supports a SOCKS5 proxy to chain VPN applications. You can find one possible community contributed solution here.

Oh, interesting! I’ll have to research this.
