      It helps for sure, but it’s difficult to tell exactly how much, since unless you have a rooted device, NetGuard installs at the user level while Google’s services are privileged and are known to bypass VPNs and VPN-like apps, including NetGuard, on occasion.

        So I would only get a false sense of privacy then, if I trust NetGuard on a not-rooted android device?
