it can block, i think it's a 'donation' feature.

anyway, it's not the same as netguard. Pcapdroid helps to identify bad application that you can either remove, or if not possible, use netguard later on to block.

Oh, interesting, I didn't know. A pity that you have to purchase it on the Play Store

Well, almost all closed-source apps, and especially many system applications, send data out all the time; blocklisting rather than whitelisting is not a great strategy.

NetGuard allows exporting to PCAP as well, anyhow, as a paid feature

Yeah, but you can just uninstall offenders

What about microsoft office ?

I want to be able to open word and excel file on my phone, but i don't want to give microsoft access to everything on my phone including dick pics, sextape, bank sheet and other personal data.

Because android allows such bad practice, blocking internet access can be usefull.

With a firewall you can keep using them, instead (and maybe only let through some of the traffic)
