(Android) Sandboxed Apps with own VPN and Firewall? [solved] (lemmy.world)

Hi lemmy,

Iwant to use specific apps as privately as possible.

I'm aware of shelter and the work profile, and I was thinking of using Duolingo or Instagram with fake accounts through a VPN with a killswitch so that it can't associate my data and usage with me.

Is that in any way possible? Or am I missing something?

I'm running Graphene OS on a Pixel 8 Pro

EDIT: Solved, you can do that with user profiles in Graphene
