you can install tracker control or netGuard to see or block those connections
but it must be better to start with graphene, lineage or iodé as your base

The problem I've found with NetGuard is you can't use it alongside your VPN
I wish more VPN apps had firewall settings built into it.
AOSP-derived ROMs like LineageOS, Copperhead, GrapheneOS and Calyx are specifically developed as alternative android distributions that do not rely on Google to function
IMO Graphene is the only true option in this list, with Copperhead being aggressively sus given the history
Graphene is the best option but lineageos is also good and covers many devices. The con of lineageos is the lack of hardened security which graphene provides.
