Is it possible to implement in Blokada the ability to set it as a device administrator app so that it cannot be uninstalled?
The possibility of such a setting would not be on the side of our app, but on the side of Android. And it would be necessary to root the phone first.
I recommend checking out the XDA forum: https://xdaforums.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-make-an-app-into-a-system-app.4612591/
No root required here. There are apps acting as device admin and they work well on unrooted phones.
E.g. fmd-foss / FMD Android · GitLab
@tomash This is different from a system app.

Maybe I didn’t explain myself well, there is no need for root, it’s a simple option made available by many apps, especially those designed for security and privacy.
It is useless to give the possibility of entering a PIN to protect the app like in Blokada if you do not then give the possibility to make it uninstallable.
I’ll post a photo here for example, this is the Admin Apps section in Android settings:

I wouldn’t advise to Root your phone. By Rooting your phone is like an “open door” and a “open season” for hackers. So it’s not advisable to do it. As a result, by Rooting into your phone is hacking into your phone and again, it may be accessible for hackers.
