Hey that's my solution
GrapheneOS has the profiles that you are asking for. Configure them how you want.
Yeah, Graphene is really great
Surely the simplest approach is not to use a wifi ssid that you don't trust. Yes, mobile broadband is slower and more expensive, but is also more under your control, it is however harder for your boss to monitor.
If I was an it manager I'd probably want to keep an eye on WiFi traffic, even on the open ssid, just to see what's going on. I don't trust free WiFi.
If you can't use 4/5g, and can't find a suitable firewall or VPN, can you set up a different user on your phone? - and be disciplined in is use.
is this post a question?
It's me asking if there's any firewall out there that supports profiles. I've learnt graphene has this functionality, that's become one option to go with.
That's something that always bother me (Especially with Android), why that fuck can I not choose which networks can my apps access if access at all??? Is my device damn it! And I know Android supports is just locked away from users
fuck all the bosses that would try to excert control over my phone
VPN dependent on WiFi?
If you do use a firewall, and then use a VPN, your connection to a VPN server will still show up right?
Afwall+ (paid version) has tasker integration i think?
Just fire up a VPN
