The app seems fairly small in size compared to orbot which is really old and also invizible pro seems to do a ton of things including firewall vpn etc . So does it connect to tor network properly and pass all your traffic through it as good as orbot and completely block internet acces to not whitelisted services as good as rethink do ? Or does it cut cornors and do all the things but do all of them horribly ? Is it audited or atleast watched by enough people to be secure ? Anyway share your thoughts .

I think if the app does everything it boasts to do perfectly its one in a kind and unmatched and probably would make any android really really safe but i'm really skeptical . I have tried it out a month ago but ditched it after reading that its firewall does not work that well but idk if that is true or not anyway share your thoughts .

I used it previously then switched to RethinkDNS.

I like the blocking abilities and the logging more with RethinkDNS. I never used I2P so that was moot for me.

With RethinkDNS I can pick the Hagezi blocklist and No Facebook, as an example, quite easily. I can also individually block domains and IPs. Dnscrypt doesn't allow that much precision.

It also has features like allow/disallow only on WiFi or data, block apps not in use, block all apps when device is locked, plus a bunch more stuff.

It integrates with Orbot, but Orbot must also be installed.

Really I can't say anything bad about InviziblePro, I prefer RethinkDNS, you might not though.

How's invisible pros app/system firewall compared to rethinks also does invisible pro start on its own after power off like rethink ?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I prefer the RethinkDNS firewall as it is more granular in what it can block. Say you have the Wikipedia app, you can block intake-analytics.wikimedia.org and still allow meta.wikimedia.org

InviziblePro can be setup to start on boot. DnsCrypt, Tor, and I2P can all be toggled individually in the settings.

Hmm i remember a while back when i firewalled my browser on invizible pro and it still worked that's one of the reason i stopped using it maybe they have fixed it now . So can tor also be setup to start on boot and can it stop supplying internet system wide if say tor stopped suddenly or does it just continue supplying unencrypted internet ?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, Tor can be set to start on boot, and there is a run all traffic through Tor setting. I'm pretty sure I remember one time when Tor failed during a session and things still worked though. With RethinkDNS this does not happen tough. When Orbot loses connection, quits, whatever, RethinkDNS will still send it traffic (if configured to do so) but it will not leave the device because Orbot is not running.

Like I said, I really prefer RethinkDNS

For whatever reason i can't get orbot to work with rethink .

Hmm, I've never had an issue with it. Orbot itself sometimes has problems, but even that is becoming rare in my use.
