It is not possible to access /proc/net on android >= 10 without root, there's nothing we can do about this.

@jonasyumi Device rooting is the solution for ifconfig. Termux can't overcome SELinux restrictions without root.

Proot'ed environment does not provide you privileges for getting network info, even if id shows that you "root" (fake root).
