Network security and privacy tools help monitor, filter, and encrypt internet traffic at the device level, offering protection against tracking, malware, and unwanted connections. Whether through DNS-based filtering, local firewalls, or advanced tunneling and proxy configurations, these tools provide granular control over how devices communicate with the internet. Options like RethinkDNS, NetGuard, and InviZible cater to Android users seeking robust, system-level protections, while flexible engines like sing-box enable custom, multi-protocol proxy routing across platforms.
