After longer pause all internet blocked dammit.
We are aware of connectivity issues with WireGuard (ref) that we've fixed in yet-to-release version v055b. Please wait until that's out (2 days? 3?) (:

Widget / Notification Action for Universal Lockdown
Noted. Thanks.
- Make rethinkdns show allowed apps at the top

What is the best firewall app for android?
Also, crafting nice UI isn't our strong suit. One look at our github issue tracker (ex) and you'd know. We try our best, though (:

Thoughts on RethinkDNS. Firewall, Privacy, Ads, all-in-one app for privacy.
sky is a stub resolver, which after stripping out all request information, forwards the dns query to both Cloudflare and Google DoH servers (code), and replies from which ever responds back the fastest. Both the client app and the resolver (server) are open source, so if you find any leaks and know what's up, we're open to changes.

Allow inbound LAN connections
Could, but it'd clutter the Settings screen? Probably, Rethink could let expert users enter arbitrary IP subnets to exclude / not route? This setting will be a footgun, though! Regardless, I've noted it: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/899

v054b: A much improved DNS
I believe it is a bug with okhttp, a library we use internally for blocklist updates: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/875

Using NetGuard over Blokada 5
NetGuard can block tracker and ad (albeit very basic), so you can use it on its own without Blokada. Or you can use the AdGuard app instead which has both firewall and (complete) adblocking feature. If you prefer open source app then check Rethink https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app

IMHO, Asus Calculator is the best calculator app around
First one is Rethink DNS: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app to manage and block domains when apps connecting to internet (similar to Blokada, Adguard...). Here that calculator app connects to googletagmanager after installing and opening.

I can't block the domain mtalk.google.com. What could be the reason?
In v054b, we're planning to switch back to the old behaviour -- of domain names blocked during DNS name resolution instead of (translating it to IP rules) at TCP / UDP connection time -- if the user has not set any per-app domain name rules and if the user is not using Bypass DNS and Firewall setting for any app: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/817
