A commenter says,

How about the local proxy example I gave? (Its in the replies)

An app can just connect to any proxy that exists on the system, including the socks5 proxy created by orbot or the tor browser and the VPN app (rethink DNS in this case) will not be able to block it, because from its perspective, its orbot/tor browser making the connection, not the app itself.

Trivial to block these. Expose behind a setting.

Block RFC 1918 (private) address space? Definitely block RFC 6761 (localhost).
