Android:

Nexdns.io^1 - Open source DNS provider with DNSSEC and over TLS. Then can also block ads at the DNS level. I don't actually use the app, I apply it at the system level with the "private DNS" settings.
Bitwarden^2 - Open Source password manager with Yubikey auth and stores TOTP.
Imagepipe^3 - Quickly and easily strip exif data from image (open source too).
Markor^4 - Used to make local notes of things I don't want shared over a cloud or google connection. Just a .md note.
Wireguard^5 - Have my own VPN setup for when i'm on public wifi, also allows me to access my server/applications remotely.
URLCheck^6 - This app is fantastic, intercepts links to remove tracking parameters, unshorten them or even scan them with a virustotal API. I also use it to redirect twitter to nitter or apply a paywall remover.

What do you use for paywall remover?

lustrum@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y

I have 2 options that work most of the time: 12ft.io and archive.ph. The URLCheck rules are:

"proxy it with archive.is": {
    "regex1": "^(https?):\\\/\\\/([\\s\\S]*)$",
    "regex": "^(?!.*(archive\\.))(.*)",
    "replacement": "https:\/\/archive.is\/newest\/$2",
    "enabled": "true"
  },
  "12ft.io.": {
    "regex": "^.*$",
    "replacement": "https:\/\/12ft.io\/$0"
  },

This basically brings up 2 buttons on the urlcheck sheet an I can pick either to proxy it.

Rethink DNS

How different is it from quad9 dns?

Asudox@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

In the app, it's actually a firewall and DNS app. It's configurable like NextDNS unlike quad9.

Interesting I'll check it out

VerPoilu@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 2y

You can configure it per app. And choose your own block lists.

Mull browser with uBO
Duckduckgo for tracking protection
Proton email

Imma add TrackerControl to those already mentioned in other comments.

Edit: cosmetic change

Lemongrab@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 2y

Since it is a local VPN you can use android killswitch as well. Good for a shelter work profile for apps that may not work with vpns
