Netguard also has a separate lockdown mode (which only enables a few apps, or none, to go through) that if toggled automatically based on connected network would enable you to dictate which apps can use untrusted networks.

While there are lots of apps that automate some sort of action based on the name of the WiFi network, activating the lockdown mode in Netguard is more specific, and I doubted if it's even possible. To start, I came up with a Termux command invocation that toggles the lockdown mode in Netguard. After customizing the quick settings (near the notification area) this adb command confirms that this method for toggling Netguard's lockdown mode really works:

adb shell cmd statusbar click-tile eu.faircode.netguard/.WidgetLockdown

Default Termux doesn't request the necessary permission which impeded the command from running, however:

java.lang.SecurityException: StatusBarManagerService: Neither user 10472 nor current process has android.permission.EXPAND_STATUS_BAR.

So this is where I'm at, I could probably just use Tasker to like some people do to run the cmd statusbar command, but I also wanted to call some attention to the issue report on the Termux repository regarding this permission.

EDIT: There's a high likelyhood it won't work on Tasker without root, and on termux it also wouldn't work even if you managed to request the permission.

For the record, in almost all versions of Android you can install apps in a isolated environment through Shelter. Apps in this environment get icons in your home screen just like the rest, but don't share the vpn/firewall connection that you might have active through RethinkDNS, among other things.

You effectively have two sets of apps with different firewall settings. And if you figure out a way to automate the locking down of RethinkDNS (through something like Tasker or Schröder's Automation,) you would effectively have a mechanism that only lets the small number of apps in the isolated environment work while connected to an untrusted network.

XBrowserSync and Floccus don't sync to local files, unless you self-host the server or a webDAV respectively.

Lofloccus makes it easy to spawn a local webDAV server (making Floccus save your bookmarks to local files) which I can then sync with rsync or Syncthing or whatever system I already like. It's only available for Windows and MacOS though.

It's me asking if there's any firewall out there that supports profiles. I've learnt graphene has this functionality, that's become one option to go with.

Okay what is LW's misunderstanding?

Sorry guys it was me. Don't be mad, we couldn't all be the #1 contributor to the map!

I don't think you were making this argument, but I want to highlight that data is not morally neutral. Google Maps drives even less customers to stores that are smaller, and already have difficulty getting customers.

I’m pretty sure that if everything would have been EE2E on Telegram it would never have reached the size and popularity that it has.

I don't know what you're saying here because it makes no sense. No one who uses or shills for Telegram thinks lack of EE2E is a good thing, absolutely no one. They use it despite of lack of EE2E (ignorance or ideologically-flavored ignorance).

*programmatically

You could put the copy of the password generator on a server owned by you to almost equivalent results, but IPFS is useful here because I can use the copy you've made (after checking once it's not malicious) and keep safely using it knowing nobody has the power to swap it for something malicious, or the hash would be different.

Should we practice what we preach here? Wanna post the address here?
