All right, next question from Freddie Mercury. What are your opinions on NetGuard? And if you would recommend Android users. I think NetGuard's good. For those who don't know NetGuard allows you to pretty much block internet access on a per app basis. And I think you can customize it to be like, you can block a Wi-Fi for one app or allow cellular or you can not allow either or you can allow both. So it's just a way, it's just pretty much like kind of a firewall that's local on Android devices. And I think if you're route, you can do a lot more with it as well. But that's probably not applicable to most people. My biggest issue with NetGuard is with most configurations, there are ways around this, but none of them are very clean. It does take up the VPN slot on your phone. So you a lot of times have to choose between NetGuard and a VPN. There are some custom ROMs that have NetGuard's functionality built into them. So that actually does address that problem kind of nicely because then the OS takes care of the firewall aspect of things and then you add a VPN on top of all that. And then maybe you're buying your VPN with like next DNS or something. So there's like different configurations there. But my only issue with NetGuard is that it might take up your VPN slot, which again, that's kind of a personal decision on what you want to sacrifice there.

I agree with you. I personally don't use NetGuard, I use Blockata, but there's nothing wrong with NetGuard. I mean, my thing is, I don't really mind internet connections on apps. I mind what they're connecting to, which is why I prefer Blockata because Blockata is more about blocking the actual domains and trackers I have. So when I'm home, I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network that has a VPN on it and then Blockata is active. And then when I leave the house, I have it automatically set to switch to a VPN. So yeah, same issue where it takes up a VPN slot, but.
