@somegirlprivacy @thebiologist1117 GrapheneOS added this feature a while ago.
@inference @somegirlprivacy@fosstodon.org @thebiologist1117 Is this any different from stock Android "Allow network access"?
@m0xee @somegirlprivacy @thebiologist1117 Stock Android doesn't have an exposed SELinux NETWORK access permission. It's there, but not user facing. GrapheneOS exposes it to the front-end so users can control it.
@inference Oh, maybe not stock Android 😅
I'm using something called Arrow OS. AFAIK it's AOSP-based.
It has permissions like this. Is it the same, what do you think?
@m0xee That seems to be the same type of thing GrapheneOS did. It is possible that Arrow OS took the GrapheneOS patch for this, like DivestOS did; it copied the code to add it to that OS.

@inference Yes, most probably.
So stock Android is even more limited 😮
Nice to have this "killer feature"!
@m0xee GrapheneOS has made substantial security improvements to stock AOSP by upstreaming patches from GOS. They've also upstreamed to LLVM.
