NetGuard is a solid tool for Android, but managing a whole home lab is a different beast. I've got dozens of VMs and containers tucked away in Proxmox; if I tried to micro-manage per-app permissions for every single one of them, I’d never get anything else done.
I prefer to take the hit on those rare site-breaking edge cases if it means I have a single, transparent "source of truth" at the DNS level. It's definitely a trade-off, but I'd rather spend my time building things than perpetually tweaking firewall rules for every new service I spin up.
