Fauxx is an open-source Android privacy tool that poisons data broker and ad-tech profiles by generating continuous, plausible, off-demographic synthetic activity from your device. The goal is simple: make your real behavioral signal statistically indistinguishable from noise.

Not my project, but though this is really cool and worth sharing.

    Ok, but how does it work? Not the faux data generation part detailed on the git (which OP didn’t link btw) but how it injects/intercepts the data.
    There are magisk modules for this, because what can be faked is severely limited without the ability to mess with other apps or the system.

    Does it put a local VPN or what?
