I would not send all my network traffic through this closed source app when there's an excellent open source app that does the same thing.

Actually, it very much looks like a NetGuard[1] ripoff both UI and feature wise.

To get the adblocking/hosts file blocking features of NetGuard, you need to get it from GitHub[2].

EDIT: I see now that they host the APK on GitHub. Can't find much code there though[3].

Not only it's closed source, but it has no information for who's behind it!
