What "Privacy Hardening" Actually Means
VPN se serve
ROM orientata alla privacy sui dispositivi supportati

| Standard | DNS + blocker locale + tracking review | ✗ | no | Moderate |
| Advanced | hosts/root + debloat più profondo | ✓ | ~95% | spesso |
| Maximum | AdAway + DivestOS or GrapheneOS + sandboxed Play Services | ROM/setup privacy specifico | dipende | Non promettiamo percentuali fisse di tracking o batteria. |
VPN non basta
- Privacy audit — full report of which apps see your location, contacts, mic, camera and clipboard
- Encrypted DNS configured (Cloudflare, NextDNS, AdGuard, Quad9 — your choice)
- Una VPN non rimuove automaticamente:
- Manufacturer telemetry and tracking apps disabled or removed via ADB / Magisk
- permessi eccessivi
- tracker SDK
- Optional VPN setup (Mullvad, IVPN, Proton VPN — privacy-preserving providers only)
- telemetria OEM
Root necessario?
Will ad-blocking break apps I actually use?
Sometimes — and we test every blocked domain with you before finalising. The most common breakage is "free" apps that refuse to load if their ad SDK does not phone home (we whitelist those if you want to keep using them) and some shopping/banking apps that use the same analytics SDK as the trackers (we whitelist by domain). The whitelist becomes part of your written setup so you do not have to redo the testing later.
Do I need to root my phone for this to work?
No. Molto si può migliorare senza root.
How is this different from just installing a VPN?
A VPN hides your IP from websites and your traffic from your ISP, which is one specific privacy concern. Privacy hardening tackles the much larger surface: the dozens of trackers and ad SDKs inside apps you use every day, the manufacturer telemetry that runs constantly in the background, the apps with location and microphone permission you forgot you granted, the manufacturer cloud sync you never opted into. A VPN does nothing about any of that. We can pair the hardening with a VPN if you want both layers.
Will my battery life improve after this?
Usually a noticeable improvement — typically 5-15% better screen-on battery — because trackers and analytics SDKs make a surprising number of background network calls. The Maximum tier on a debloated GrapheneOS install commonly extends standby battery by 30%+ vs stock OEM Android. Performance also improves on lower-end devices because there is just less running in the background.
Is this legal? Could it void my warranty?
