    Just use wireguard and block all connections that aren’t going over VPN. Ezpz

    Also if you’re on a locked down device then you’re already feeding them plenty of data

      Using a VPN does absolutely nothing to protect from their apps scraping up and phoning home telemetry.

      It’s still YOUR phone. It’s still YOUR GPS location. It’s still YOUR data connection. A VPN is not a catch-all solution to privacy.

        VPN to your box somewhere else with proper filtering.

        I figured that was obvious

          That’s literally not how VPNs work nor are you aware of what you’re talking about.

            You literally don’t know what you are talking about.

            You’re like a computer novice that is only aware of commercialized VPN products thinking you know what you’re talking about but unaware that the commercialized products are open source things that anyone can run, and you’re only paying for the company to run them on their boxes.
