This is aimed at iOS users more, but do any of you use any firewall apps like 1 blocker fire wall or adguard dns.

The reason I’m asking is if you have all them things at router level what good does it do on a device level?

      Not at the moment. No. I used to have one of those Netgate firewalls using pfsense i could do vpn on but i really didnt see the point. By using ControlD as my DNS i block known malware, ads, and trackers for free. Obviously that does not protect from everything, but it goes a long way towards helping.

        Very true, I’ve also noted that controlD can actually spoof your ip, so I suppose there is no need for vpn
