I stumbled upon this and it seems like a decent concept but I'm just wondering if anyone has used it or knows more about it.

Interesting, but I already use the Portmaster, which do the same and more (also FOSS). It offers also an SPN (improved VPN) as option, it's a paid service. Anyway it's always good to use this and similar apps on the PC, in Mobile maybe InVizible Pro (F-Droid version please).

Looks like it probably replaces your VPN so, you probably shouldn't use that.

Works fine for me. I mainly installed it to block ads on apps like Medal.
