• Hosts and DNS Blocklist Managers - Provides a system for blocking tracking domains and wildcards via local hosts files and DNS plugins.
• Domain-Based DNS Query Blockings - Blocks telemetry and spying traffic by returning synthetic NXDOMAIN responses for blacklisted domains.
• Network Traffic Capture Engines - Implements a background listener to record connection attempts and DNS resolutions to a file.
• Network Traffic Filtering - Restricts system network traffic via IP, protocol, and port filtering to prevent spying.
• Privacy Hardening Tools - Implements utilities to disable telemetry and tracking services to improve overall system data privacy.
• Firewall Rule Configurations - Programmatically adds IP-based blocking rules to the native system firewall to restrict outbound traffic.

• OpenWrt Blocking Integrations - Implements DNS and IP blocking rules at the router level using OpenWrt gateway tools.
• Network Traffic Auditors - Captures and analyzes system network traffic to identify and filter out spying activities.
• Rule-Based Proxies - Intercepts telemetry transmission by routing network requests through a proxy server with predefined filtering rules.
• Connectivity Indicator Controls - Stops the operating system from contacting connectivity status indicator sites to prevent tracking.
• Windows Registry Modifications - Disables connectivity probes by modifying Windows registry keys associated with the network connectivity status indicator.
• Connection Status Indicators - Adjusts the network connectivity status indicator to prevent the operating system from reporting connectivity to external servers.
