Netguard also has a separate lockdown mode (which only enables a few apps, or none, to go through) that if toggled automatically based on connected network would enable you to dictate which apps can use untrusted networks.
While there are lots of apps that automate some sort of action based on the name of the WiFi network, activating the lockdown mode in Netguard is more specific, and I doubted if it's even possible. To start, I came up with a Termux command invocation that toggles the lockdown mode in Netguard. After customizing the quick settings (near the notification area) this
adbcommand confirms that this method for toggling Netguard's lockdown mode really works:Default Termux doesn't request the necessary permission which impeded the command from running, however:
So this is where I'm at, I could probably just use Tasker to like some people do to run the
cmd statusbarcommand, but I also wanted to call some attention to the issue report on the Termux repository regarding this permission.EDIT: There's a high likelyhood it won't work on Tasker without root, and on termux it also wouldn't work even if you managed to request the permission.
