Am always confused about use an app like rethinkdns, invizible pro, adguard, etc. to manage dns requests on my phone or just use the private dns ?

Is there any privacy advantage or security concern over them ? When i use an app, all dns queries can be routed through my preffered dns (like in a bloated phone all tracking requests can be blocked) ? Private dns is easy for the system to bypass ?

I always use rethinkdns and block bypassed dns, so i think now every dns is routed through rethinkdns and its impossible to cause a leak. Is that a myth as no dns app can provide that much privacy or security ?

How effective is an application firewall than a network level firewall like nextdns ?

Allover question is, may i use a application firewall or network level firewall ?
