When reported with a conclusive proof that the apps violate the license and/or copyright of NetGuard, Google will not remove the apps from the Play store. I had once a discussion about this with Google and they just said "no". They are violating several regulations with this and I hope they will be fined really, really hard for this intentional behavior.I've just looked over the Play Store and found these apps that look like clones. I doubt they honor any of the stipulations with the GTK 3.0 license so I think you can use this form to file a complaint @M66B

With all these illegal clones are you really surprised these same 'developers' would also be responsible for your 1 star reviews? It is obvious they are fake—at least to me.

Google speech is integrated into Android, so Android itself.Which service do you have to block for Google speech recognition to work offline?

I provided conclusive proof already.I don't understand the inconclusive proof. If similar name, code characteristics, matching strings don't catch it, if they don't honor the gpl3 by presenting the same license, publish the source code, and cite the upstream project, they're in violation of the GPL 3 license.
If anything, maybe make a bunch of hidden messages within the app.
When you export settings or do a logcat the last letters of the first 6 lines spell Marcel
or use a color code or alpha something or other converts to the word M66B in some algorithm. I dunno. Something that is easy to explain but looks like regular code.
-- .- .-. -.-. . .-.. is Marcel in Morse Code. I dunno

I will fix this next week.I upgraded to Android 12 beta 1 a few weeks ago, and Netguard worked great. Unfortunately a couple days after updating to beta 2, there was some bug that required me to wipe my phone. Now on a fresh install, when I try to turn Netguard on (toggle firewall switch), it immediately crashes. I found this in logcat output:

Hi Marcel,About each and every day the average Play store rating of NetGuard is decreasing. Lately disappointingly fast. This doesn't motivate me to keep maintaining and supporting the app.
For now I will keep maintaining and supporting NetGuard, but I will stop answering each and every question here. I think about every imaginable question has been asked here already anyway. So, you can use the search function of this thread instead.
What you can try is enable filtering in the advanced settings and disable 'Apply rules and conditions' for the app.Activated NetGuard blocks the audio of the FritzBox Fon App. When NetGuard is deactivated the audio works fine.
Any idea? Attached the protocol.

If you want to provide a rating for the application: Backup\Export Netguard settings to your phone, Uninstall Netguard, Install Play Store version, Update using Github version, Import Backup, Give a PS rating ;-)Would love to give 5 stars on play store but since I'm on the github version it's not possible.
Probably it's the host you use for filter traffic. Unnticking apply rules & condition for f-droid app or temporily disable filter traffic before you update an app on f-droid might be a solution for itHi everyone!
While I LOVE Netguard, I have never been able to get F-Droid to update. I always have to turn off Netguard before F-Droid can DL any updates. I have F-Droid "allowed".
I searched this thread, but there are a million references to F-Droid and updates. Surely it is a known, easy fix.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
