Which FW (Firewall) could be recommended?
TrackerControl
LineageOS or /e/OS would be my picks. Graphene and Calyx are better, but likely don't support the device in question.
RIP DivestOS.
Lol, I think they asked for a firewall, not alternative OS
Oh, I thought they meant firmware.
FW? If you mean firewall, I use RethinkDNS because it's both a Firewall and a VPN (via wireguard).
I don't actually use the RethinkDNS for its DNS, I'm just using the app.
