Ability to reset the monitoring data without restarting the capture

Please add a button or menu item to clear the connection log at any time

Do you mean the list in the Connections tab?

Yeap :)

Currently the list is cleared only after PCAPdroid restarting. Which is not always possible. Especially if the PCAPdroid is added to Always-on VPN.

It would be even better to add the option to delete for each item in the list via the context menu or top panel.
And even allow to select several as for the firewall blocklist and whitelist items.

I agree on adding the ability to reset the app state without restarting it. The other option to remove individual connections seems overcomplicate to me.

You underestimate yourself ;)
Already your firewall is probably the best.
But without the possibility of flexible configuration, it's very difficult to use in complex scenarios.
It may be worth considering the possibility of customization through importing configs for example, in the JSON format. Even enough through intents. Without UI changes.

Ahaha, I mean it can be complicate also for the user to have this grade of configurability. For the time being, the simplicity of a single global list it's better from my point of view, both for code complexity and user experience

Yes, but in part this is meant not to be simple. If people start using the app as an adblock, it could be removed from the store

and user experience

If you start conducting surveys then you will learn a lot about the needs of users ;)

it could be removed from the store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.celzero.bravedns
and etc
Then it's time to remove them long ago ;)

At least for Netguard, I know for sure that you can't do that in the google play version https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md

It's just not necessary to loudly declare that you are adding to block ads ;)
Moreover, no one forbids adding in the form of plugins and configs. It all depends on the desire to realize or lack of it ;)
