I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don't mind breaking stuff.

  1. AFWall+ firewall to allow list apps to internet using your preferred method (e.g. VPN, wifi, data, etc)
  2. PcapDroid to help monitor and analyze packets, or to just confirm things aren't communicating unexpectedly
  3. AdAway if you're not using your own dedicated dns over a permanent VPN connection

If not all 3 of these, AFWall is probably the best to go with. Having a way to not only block Apps, but also define your own custom firewall rules is very powerful. For example, I redirect all DNS requests to my own DNS with a custom rule (for apps, like Termux, using hardcoded DNS lookups instead of what the phone is set to)

How do you make AFwall and vpn working together, when i tried it said one or the other.

This is where rooting the phone is required. I use wireguard without root and have AFWall granted with root at bootup so it doesn't require acting as a VPN
