My well known non root smartphone hardening guide is based on the long term trustworthiness and capabilities of Invizible Pro (and NetGuard). I never recommend or touch projects that will go defunct unexpectedly, or have garbage persons developing behind it. Invizible is an amazing project which has had no equivalent for years now, FOSS or not. And it itself is FOSS, made out of other FOSS projects.

You must enable always-on VPN killswitch in Android VPN settings, and put Invizible in VPN or root mode, instead of proxy mode.
Rethink dev has spoken to me multiple times. He has made a very good app, even incorporated changes I recommended, but it can stop functioning at times abruptly, according to a fellow friend who tested it thoroughly. Invizible is more stable, so I am yet to change recommendation, since I recommend Invizible for heavier, hardcore setup and NetGuard for easier, relaxed setup. I am currently off of Invizible after 3ish years and daily drive testing NetGuard to see how well it is working.

Tor and I2P have nothing to do with clearnet. And if you want to use Tor, use it through official Tor Browser or TailsOS.

As a Tor user since over a decade, I do know that I think. What I also know is Firefox is not one bit safe for Tor usage. Use the official Tor Browser or TailsOS.
And Firefox is not very secure for Tor usage. Tor Browser and TailsOS are the only proper tools to use Tor onion network.
I’m using it, but mostly only as Proxie. it also avoid a lot of ads in the Android apps. I2P and TOR network only occasional. It’s a good app and FOSS.
Seems fishy

I’m suspicious of everything apps
What nonsense is this? It is an amalgamation of NetGuard, I2pd and Orbot, along with a lot of additions to it. Nothing competes with it at all, and has not since years, even though it is FOSS and made by one person. I thoroughly test and use it, and my non root smartphone guide is based on it, that is how great it is.
I’m always suspicious of the same old question over and over “what do you think about this unheard-of paid app?”

i too start to think that this thread is for promotion rather than “asking for opinions”. I will go make myself a tinHat

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
It’s not paid. 🤦♂️
I use it, but I don’t use it in VPN mode for my entire device. I use it in proxy mode so that things that are specifically looking for tour on local host, 1950 will connect through it and it seems to work fine for that purpose. I use it for f-droid and SimpleX
I’ve read this on https://invizible.net
why would i use this app “that carries no guarantee” instead of those original projects?
Well, the reason I use it is because it generally tends to carry the newest versions of the tor software, where something like Orbot is quite far behind.
what’s “tour software”?
Dictation. “Tor”
orbot and tor are both from the guardian project 🤔
And yet orbot cant keep up with the latest tor releases

☞ netGuard through Orbot
Haven’t heard Orbot mentioned in ages, people use Tor browser now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.torbrowser_alpha
Though oddly, it’s missing from F-Droid for me
i use orbot for a couple of apps.
Tor browser cannot replace orbot
You have to enable the guardian project repo.

Oh shit, what were the proprietary blobs for? Got a link where I can read up about it by any chance?
