Portmaster, nowadays mandatory, monitor the traffic of all installed apps and even from the OS itself, blocking with a simple click all unwanted traffic, Inbuild DNS crypt with dynamic filterlists (customizable) blocking ads, trackers and unwanted crap from big companies. Optional SPN service (paid). Windows and Linux.

Similar idea for Android: TrackerControl.
Better Invizible Pro, it offers in reduced form similar features as Portmaster (DNScrypt, selective per app Firewall, apart TOR and I2P network access).
