i would say netGuard is "the best non-root firewall now"

but it's been years since i stopped using rethink and i never needed to go back to it

I seem to remember hearing NetGuard doesn't work properly for some configuration and that it doesn't support IPv6 properly (?) Or maybe it was something VPN/Wireguard related.. My memory is a bit vague

AFAIK TrackerControl was also based on NetGuard.

i also use wireguard with no problems

i use and used it on different phone brands and tablets too
