Yes but then you're committed to using Nix which doesn't work so well the moment you need some software not packaged by Nix.

Want to throw a requirements.txt in there? No no, why would you even ask that? Meanwhile docker says yeah sure just run pip install, why should I care?

LLMs are getting very good at packaging software using Nix.

How do you know those connections are blocked and not merely bypassing Netguard?

I am using GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS has a compatibility layer providing the option to install and use the official releases of Google Play in the standard app sandbox.

See https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play

NetGuard also shows network requests from GrapheneOS itself, all proxied by the GrapheneOS project, as described here: https://grapheneos.org/faq#default-connections

> Some software call home at 4am every day

Which app?

Not sure anymore since I removed them, it may have been BlaBlaCar and/or Tricount.

I'm using netguard. It's really good, but conflicts with wireguard (another VPN I am using). It's because the firewall is realised using VPN API, when running netguard it uses VPN API to control the traffic

I am dreaming of an open-source app that adds Wireguard capabilities to NetGuard or vice-versa.

Having to switch from one to the other is very annoying.

Installing NetGuard was revelation regarding the amount of tracking in most Android apps.

You can configure it to block access by default and notify you every time an app attempts a new connection. And it rings all the time.

Some software call home at 4am every day, other every hour, some send data to a dozen "analytics" services - services that I never opted-in for, which shows how few apps respect the RGPD.

At least most apps still work when those are blocked, and NetGuard allows you to block connections to Google servers except for Google Apps, which network firewalls and DNS solutions can't.

I looked in the GitHub issues and there's a closed issue for F-droid inclusion. The author states that F-droid "Doesn't meet their requirements" but doesn't elaborate. I wonder what F-droid is missing that they need so much?

F-Droid only packages open-source software and rebuilds it from source, while installing from Accrescent would move all trust to the developer, even if the license changes to proprietary.

I understand that the author trusts itself more than F-Droid, but as a user the opposite seems more relevant.

They should reword it as "That’s the average time it takes a broken automatic upgrade to land and deploy through your network. When your data, reputation, and revenue are at stake, don't trust third-party software with automated updates."
