There are functional firewall apps for android? Is Rethink good?
Rethink is better than good. It's great.
RethinkDNS allow you to use a Firewall, Use a VPN (via wireguard), set your DNS, and various other things I didn't mess with in the app. I don't even use RethinkDNS for the DNS, its just a great app.
Yes, it also let you change your DNS and block websites. There's also invizible pro which also adds tor and i2p but rethink have a better UI.
