In lockdown, I enable the firewall only, without an account and without the lockdown vpn (the on device vpn has to be enabled for the app to work). The apps on my iPhone connected to these servers:

If you have an android phone, there is the

exodus privacy app

that analyzes privacy concerns in android applications.
