The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Have been using this for a while, finally the feeling that my phones (& my life :O) belongs to me, not huawei, samsung, google etc nor to the myriad of shadowy, hidden data & privacy vampires :O)

    Instantly block all the continuous phonehomes & **** connections, allow those you want \ when you want (f.ex. momentarily unblock stuff for updates, downloads). Simple to use, no root, banking & browsers & whatever I need works without a hitch, tested it on many phones, different android versions, just great stuff. A joy (+ revelation!) to take a look at blocked attempts logs.

    It's on apkmirror etc.
    ps, if using it, support the developper with a good donation, this one is worth it.

    Attachment, an example of the incredible & continuous attempts at net activity from a huawei (near stock regarding installed apps).
