Blocking access to the internet can help:

Most of these features are the result of sending selected traffic to a VPN sinkhole, instead of filtering all internet traffic. This means that advanced features, like address-based filtering (needed for hosts blocking), traffic logging, and on-demand configuration, are not possible.
Since NetGuard has no internet permission, you know your internet traffic is not being sent anywhere.
