Currently the website features a few firewalls for android Netguard and Pfsense for routers. This is a bit spread on the website and I think there also good recommendations to make for other firewalls.
Not all of them are a full featured firewall in means of configuration or just a DNS sinkhole but generally these apps could improve your privacy by blocking requests of none browser apps.

We might also want to keep an eye on Portmaster. It's still in alpha tho, but it will be a great project.
Speaking of Little Snitch, there's an open-source alternative for it: LuLu
@Hassle-sleigh-dramatic-citizen-upstage i know Lulu but it's not nearly as good as Little snitch, but might be worth to recommend as well.
