# NetGuard

*NetGuard* provides a simple way to block access to the internet - no root required.
Applications can individually be allowed or denied access to your Wi-Fi and/or mobile connection.

Blocking access to the internet can help:

* reduce your data usage
* save your battery
* increase your privacy

NetGuard is possibly the first free and open source no-root firewall for Android.

Features:

* No root required
* Simple to use
* Free of charge
* Open source
* No extra battery usage
* No bandwidth reduction
* No calling home
* No tracking or analytics
* No ads
* No internet permission required
* IPv4/IPv6 TCP/UDP supported
* Optionally allow when screen on
* Optionally block when roaming
* Optionally block system applications
* Material design

Most of these features are the result of sending selected traffic to a sinkhole, instead of filtering all internet traffic.
This means that advanced features, like address based filtering (needed for ad blocking), traffic logging, and on-demand configuration, are not possible.
Routing selected traffic into a sinkhole relies on an API introduced in Android 5.0 (Lollipop),
therefore older Android versions unfortunately cannot be supported.

Since NetGuard has no internet permission, you know your internet traffic is not being sent anywhere.

Compatibility
-------------

Devices / ROMs with a broken VPN implementation:

* Alcatel™ OneTouch Idol 3 / Android 5.0.2 (reported in the Play store) (all traffic blocked)
* Asus™ ZenFone 2 / Android 5.0.2/5.1.1, [reported on XDA](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63619542&postcount=121) (all traffic blocked)
* Asus™ ZenFone 4 / Android 5.0 (reported in the Play store) (all traffic blocked)
* BQ™ Aquaris M5 / Android 5.0 (reported in the Play store) (all traffic blocked)
* Lenovo™ Yoga Tablet Pro-1380L / 2 Pro / Android 5.0.1, [reported on XDA](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63784102&postcount=278) (all traffic blocked)
* Samsung™ Galaxy A5 / Android 5.0.2, [reported on Github](https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/issues/20) (all traffic blocked)
* Sony™ Xperia™ M4 Aqua Dual / Android 5.0 (reported in the Play store) (all traffic blocked)

NetGuard will crash when the package *com.android.vpndialogs* has been removed or otherwise is unavailable.

Tethering will not work when NetGuard is enabled due to a bug in Android ([issue](https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/issues/42)).

Unfortunately it is not possible to workaround any of these problems.
