Thanks may have to try shelter since the camera thing has been an issue on insular and caused me to put ABSOLUTELY PROPREITARY apps on my main profile lol
“Either VPN permission missing, or another app is in always on VPN mode”. I searched settings for VPN and found an app called “VPN dialogs” and something about VPN certificatea
In CalyxOS you can set the VPN ( ProtonVPN ) to route all your traffic ( including the work profile ) thru the VPN tunnel, giving you extra layer of protection. ( I don’t know if it’s possible on LineageOS )
Your phone has a feature called Work Profile that can be used to isolate your personal and work apps from each other. Normally you need to sign in to a company-specified app like Microsoft Company Portal to activate Work Profile, but Shelter is a simple, open-source app that will do it instead.
Just recently discovered shelter, too. I would have gotten it way earlier if I knew. Had to install an app that I knew was too grabby with data (luckily for one-time use) and only found out about shelter researching how to stop it from spying too much.
Is this necessary if I avoid Meta products entirely and already use DDG app tracking protection for everything else? Regardless, I can’t find “Shelter” on the Play Store anyway.

Good point, I’m gonna uninstall it. I just waned to show someone that you dont need the playstore to install WhatsApp
What is shelter?
…
Alternative with the same option is “island”
Shelter is FOSS, and I think is just a better app at this point.
No disrespect to Island, it works and it’s free, but I do think Shelter is preferable.
I’ve been using insular which is basically the foss version of island

Yes, I meant the fork INSULAR.
Neither VPNs or work profiles work with my Motorola g73, I keep getting error messages

Think of as virtualized/segmented user space. You can install apps within in, and they are ONLY allowed access to the data within the work profile.
With Shelter you can set apps to automatically freeze as well, so that when they aren’t in use, they can’t do anything else.
I didn’t know Shelter existed!!! Damn, thx for the recommendation, this has to be shilled more often imho
You’re welcome, I don’t usually write comments, recently I’m having this assumption of “everyone knows this already…” but here we are… 🤷🏻♂️
Imposter syndrome is kicking in hard as you can see
