About Tracker Control Android
TrackerControl for Android monitors and controls the tracking and advertising data collection that apps carry out in the background. It uses Android's VPN functionality to analyse network traffic on the device. According to the project, it does not require root access, does not use an external VPN server by default, and does not intercept SSL connections. Only metadata about network communications is logged and shown to the user. It identifies trackers using the Disconnect blocklist, the DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar, an in-house blocklist, and Exodus Privacy signatures for tracker libraries inside app code. Users can see the companies and countries behind tracking, and the purposes of tracking such as analytics or advertising.
The Play Store version (Slim) offers tracker analysis, traffic logging, minimal tracker and ad blocking, secure DNS, and remote VPN routing. The F-Droid and GitHub version (Full) adds three blocking modes, granular per-tracker control, and a wider set of blocklists. The project states that no app can give 100% protection and that analysis results may be inaccurate. It also says a feature-reduced iOS version, offering tracker analysis without blocking, is in development.
