What would interest me in the course
In terms of shelter:
Is it possible to run TC or Blokada in both profiles?
Both in the private and in the work profile?

Or do they compete with each other?

I didn’t try to use Blokada. For Tracker Control I fisrt install and config in main, then clone into Shelter and config again.

Never seen problem even with different settings in main/pro. Just keep in mind that TC doesn’t support to be frozen in Shelter.

OK, I will try it with TC.
Blokada doesn’t work. Tried it, but no success. It will close immidetly when Blokada is already runnning in main

Blokada in Main an TC in Work are working in harmony…

Hello.

Dirty flash for v1.0, little issues with OrganicMap and sheltered apps, no time to spend now so I disabled advancedprivacy.

Will test… later! now I need a full fonctionnal device.

Nota : after reboot, OrganicMaps settings were changed (maps location), so I think advancedprivacy had change them at first boot :flushed: :flushed: :flushed:

Will test further with a clean install… in week #28
