About TrackerControl
TrackerControl monitors app network traffic to identify and selectively block known trackers. It uses tracking blocklists, including a built-in list and custom lists, to associate network connections with tracking companies and purposes such as analytics or advertising. Its screens can show which companies and purposes are associated with detected traffic. The app analyzes traffic locally on the Android device using Android’s VPN functionality; it does not send traffic through an external VPN server. Root access is not required. Because it uses the device’s VPN facility, it cannot be used alongside another VPN or Private DNS, according to the supplied description. TrackerControl also says it can identify DNS cloaking techniques used to obscure tracker connections. The app is a research project that aims to help users understand app data collection and selectively block connections. Detection depends on the blocklists and the traffic visible to its local analysis, so the supplied description does not establish that every tracker will be detected. It also includes educational material about data-protection rights.
