Regarding sandbox/shelter. Shelter creates an work profile on your device. All apps you install in this work profile doesn’t have access to your main profile data. For example: the shelter address book has no access to the contacts of main profile. But all apps in work profile dies gave access to all app data in work profile. So it’s recommended to install only some apps in work profile.
Thank you for your answer, I might have missed a thread about OpenVpn/PPTP, I’ll try again.
Thanks to you, I understand more what shelter do. I’ll go with it then.
@crocodile, your VPN provider supports multiple protocols so there’s nothing to worry about. Use OpenVPN or IKEv2. Their support section has tutorials I believe for settings things up along with using third party tools like the OpenVPN app, etc.
Thank you @marcdw, I found the OpenVPN for Android app in the /e/ App store. I suppose that third party tool is to be trusted isn’t it ? I don’t have much knowledge about what i should trust or not. I 'll try it (with the hope it’s safe)
Heh, not sure about trust but OpenVPN is also available via F-Droid.
I use an app called strongSwan (Play Store) so I can use test out the IKEv2 protocol. No particular reason though they say it has less overhead than some of the other protocols.
So if I understand correctly, the e-Apps is safe if we only open-source app with no trackers while every app in F-droid has already been selected as an open-source app with no trackers.
If you are not sure, install ClassyShark app from f-droid. After install of any app fromApps Store load CLassyShark and have a look how much trackers the new app has. Than you can decide if yo want use it or uninstall.
