| > They present it as a firewall app with a fancy name, but it's just a UI for the AOSP firewall and it doesn't really work as they present it. There is no AOSP Firewall, this is all based on code which originated in LineageOS, and we've been maintaining and extending it since about a year now. We make changes, send patches back upstream (LineageOS), and are talks in that developer. The bypass is serious, we're looking into it and will have a working patch available shortly. It will work. We do not muck around with the INTERNET permission and change the android permission model since that has known to crash apps, we did evaluate it before putting effort into this. The beauty of doing this network side is that apps are unaware and keep working, unlike some apps which crash when you take away their INTERNET permission - that is why we didn't go with that approach. What use is a toggle if it crashes the app and makes it unsable. > The fastboot.js library powering it is a project we funded. Thank you for funding that! |
