🎁 Open source firewall for Android with WireGuard. 💙 kt, js, go, rs. 🇮🇳 India.
GrapheneOSAndroid was successful due to being open source and an open platform. Google chose that approach to catch up and get near universal adoption by OEMs and carriers. They've gradually phased in illegal anti-competitive practices making it into a bait and switch. They can be forced to roll it all back.

The CFP deadline for the AOSP devroom at #IndiaFOSS 2026 has been extended by two weeks and will now close on 28 June 2026 (Sunday). Looking forward to your submissions!

Fixes "On-device blocklists" UI unresponsiveness.
Signups to RPN has been paused until v055y, due to a few reporting payment-related issues for which we don't yet have a root-cause.

Many reported timeouts with DNS that we weren't able to reproduce ourselves, but we've made every effort to fix those from whatever hints we could gather from issues, screengrabs, and logs shared with us since.
Has been a couple of sleepless nights, so hopefully v055w is worth it.
Additional thank you to the 20 of you who subscribed to RPN! 🎈 🙂
v055v with "Rethink Proxy Network" is out.
Please do test this version and let us know how it goes: Especially if it goes badly.

Josh BressersI had a chat with @eighthave about @fdroidorg on #OpenSourceSecurity
We cover how it works, the security angles for running an app store, and talk about some of the changes that are coming for Android that will make F-Droid's job a lot harder
I learned a ton from Hans, it's a great discussion

F-Droid the open app store with Hans
Josh talks to Hans-Christoph Steiner about F-Droid, the Free and Open Source Android App Repository. The way F-Droid works looks a lot like a Linux distribution which has some interesting security challenges, but also some great security benefits. Hans walks us through the current state of open app repositories and also what the future currently looks like. There are more open phones than ever before, but there are also more challenges than ever before. Hans breaks it all down in an easy to understand way.

»Ich habe nichts zu verbergen« ist keine Sicherheitsstrategie - es ist eine Kapitulation. Daten über dich werden gesammelt, verknüpft und irgendwann missbraucht, ob von Kriminellen, Werbetreibenden oder Behörden. Es geht nicht darum, ob du etwas Verbotenes tust. Es geht darum, wer die Kontrolle über dein Leben hat – du oder andere.
#UnplugBigTech Tipp 16: App-Tracking vermeiden
Gestern haben wir unabhängige Smartphones empfohlen. Doch kommerzielle Apps bleiben ein Problem: Sie senden Verhaltensdaten an Tracking-Monopole – mit Folgen für Konsum, Meinung und sogar Wahlen.
Nutze daher F-Droid.
- Kannst du auf manche Apps nicht verzichten? →Prüfe sie mit Exodus Privacy auf Tracker.
- Keine Tracker? → Installiere über Aurora.
- Mit Trackern? → Nutze sie isoliert: Vertrauliches-Profil (GrapheneOS) oder mit VPN & RethinkDNS.
