sms-backup-plus VS rethink-app

SMS Backup+ (https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus) uses an IMAP connection to back up messages to a folder in a mailbox, and can also restore to a new phone (restore SMS only, not MMS/RCS). Can also add phone calls to your Google Calendar as entries. Can use any IMAP account, but defaults to GMail. Requires setting an application password for GMail access. Advantage: View and search messages within your email account.

Alternatively there's SMS Backup+, which is more focused on exporting. It will copy your messages into individual email messages in Gmail (or any email account supporting IMAP).

For Android, you might look at https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/

SMS Backup+ (version 1.5.11): Backup SMS, MMS and call history to IMAP

Here is one sample repo link.

Next I would highly recommend backing up your SMS messages using an app from the Play store. "SMS Backup and Restore" works well as already mentioned here, there is also an app called "SMS Backup+" which backs up your SMS and Call log as emails in your Gmail account. This is nice so you can still search through old messages if you want and is slightly more accessible than SMS Backup and Restore's Online viewer for its XML backups. SMS Backup+ requires a little work around now to connect to Gmail due to Google's security changes over the last few years, and that workaround can be found here: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/972

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?) (:

Noted. Thanks.

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 (:

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.

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

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

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

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.

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
