@piracy Do cracked apps still send data to Google/Android or they bypass them?

I was wondering if while using (trusted) cracked apps they still send data to Google, Android, Meta, etc. or to the app owner.

All cracked software normally still sends data. You would have to block via Windows Firewall (Windows), use a no-inet group and iptables/ufw (Linux), or use a tunnel interface/root access to block (Android).

On android with root what's the best firewall to use? The 'rootless' ones using Android VPN features are really inefficient.
