so Android is mostly developed by google so I assume it also sends a lot of data over to google. Is there an OS that’s privacy respecting?

    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

        i didn’t try but i remember reading this:

        NetGuard is a firewall application, so there is no intention to add VPN support. However, NetGuard supports a SOCKS5 proxy to chain VPN applications. You can find one possible community contributed solution here.

        I wish more VPN apps had firewall settings built into it.
