Advanced Privacy: Add Firewall UI
Summary
Add a user friendly firewall UI to /e/OS
Description
A user friendly firewall UI is missing in /e/OS
Who will use this new feature?
/e/OS as LineageOS have built-in firewall functionality in App Info. Unfortunately, it is very laborious to set and control the internet permissions of all apps by clicking into every single app detail page.
Therefore an additional UI for the firewall settings would be a great help.
Why these users would like to use this feature?
Easier control of internet access of all apps, thus much better privacy control.
Examples
Especially with the new App Lounge becoming more attractive and non open source apps from Play Store being just a few clicks away an easy configurable firewall is crucial for keeping privacy. Many useful apps in Play Store need internet access only for ads and tracking. They are working fine with blocked internet access.
