Timing is excellent for me. Would RethingDNS & Firewall (using both features) provide a "pseudo" Graphene OS like environment? If not, is the more affordable Fairphone 6 worth the costs?
It's better than the default, but such firewalls are installed at the user level while Google's services are installed at the root level and are known to bypass VPNs and VPN-style firewalls, including RethinkDNS, on occasion.
That sounds a lot more satisfying than I would have imagined. How do I set it up in that way?
I'm starting to explore RethinkDNS. Any tips or directions on the subtleties would be brilliant please
i would sell your current phone if you can't get a AOSP rom and get the fairphone if you can afford it.
