The best is Portmaster, it monitors individually all traffic from installed apps and even the one form the OS itself, with the option to block what you don't like, DNScrypt with a big filterlist and optional an (paid) SPN service (VPN which allowed to use different servers depending on the website). IMHO better and easier to handle as Pi-Hole, which don't permit individual per app settings.
Thank you. I'm currently using Simplewall, but I will try to switch to Portmaster
