Disable Android backup for sensitive VPN profile data and add explicit backup/data extraction exclusions for app databases, preferences, files, and external app storage.

Deny cleartext traffic by default, remove file-scheme TOML imports from the exported import activity, and avoid showing SOCKS passwords in the Home telemetry card.

Mask common secret assignments and app-local file paths before Android/core log lines enter the UI and shareable log flows. Resolver IPs and scan counters remain visible so telemetry parsing continues to work.

Thank you for your effort in proposing these security hardening measures. After careful consideration, I've decided not to merge this PR.

Most of the data handled by the app is not sensitive enough to justify disabling backups or restricting data extraction to this extent. Additionally, some of the stricter defaults (such as cleartext traffic restrictions and the removal of file-scheme imports) could potentially interfere with current user workflows and certain network configurations.

I prefer to maintain the current balance of flexibility and functionality for now. Thank you again for your contribution and for looking out for the project's security!
