I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home's internet.
He just sent me this, and now he's ready to #degoogle ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.
They're just too much, seriously. He's getting a Pixel 6 Pro to put GraphenOS on it. I have the 7Pro and have been on Graphene or Calyx for about 2 years now. No regrets.
Tell him to make sure to change the Connectivity check domains to GrapheneOS ones. Plenty of people im this thread explained you about those. In theory, ypu could disable it, but the main OS will assume you have no connection, despite actually able to connect, and some apps may break.
Yup, that's how I have mine as well. Good tip for all of us.
Is
GrapheneOS servernot the default?Don't know how where to check to verify that. Hence me still recommending it to double check that.
Haven't had any issues with it breaking. Some apps maybe need google play services to unfortunately I do use that since not everybody uses Unified Push
It's really on more specific cases. I had it happen with a couple of apps that prevented me even trying to connect to it. I think the entire system should be fine working despite the connectivity check being entirely disabled.
