NetGuard does not concatenate hosts files, so you will have to use a source which does this for you or do it yourself.
|

|

You can check the number of hosts (domains) imported by pulling the NetGuard notification down using two fingers.

Apart from using a hosts file, you can block most in-app ads by blocking this address for Google Play services:

**(19) Why does application XYZ still have internet access?**
|

|

If you block internet access for an application, there is no way around it.

However, applications could access the internet through other applications.

Google Play services is handling push messages for most applications for example.

However, applications could access the internet through other (system) applications.
|
||||
Google Play services is handling incoming push messages for most applications for example.
|
||||
You can prevent this by blocking internet access for the other application as well.
|
||||
This can best be diagnosed by checking the global access log (three dot menu, Show log).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that some applications keep trying to access the internet, which is done by sending a connection request packet.
|
||||
This packet goes into the VPN sinkhole when internet access for the application is blocked.

|

On most devices, NetGuard will keep running in the background with its foreground service.
|
||||
On some devices (in particular some Samsung models), where there are lots of applications competing for memory, Android may still stop NetGuard as a last resort.
|
||||
Unfortunately this cannot be fixed from NetGuard, and can be considered a shortcoming of the device and/or as a bug in Android.
|
||||
You can workaround this problem by enabling the watchdog in the NetGuard advanced options to check every 10-15 minutes.

**(39) How does a VPN based firewall differ from a iptables based firewall?**

|

**(40) Can you add schedules?**
|
||||
|
||||
Besides not being trivial to add, schedule are in my opion not a good idea, since time is not a good rule condition.
|
||||
A rule condition like *When screen is on* is a better and more straightforward condition.
|
||||
Therefore schedules will not be added, but you are welcome to propose other new conditions.

**(41) Can you add wildcards?**

Wildcards to allow/block addresses would have a significant performance and usability impact and will therefore not be added.

* READ_PHONE_STATE ('*Device ID & call information*'): to detect mobile network changes, see [here](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64107371&postcount=489) for more details
|

* ACCESS_WIFI_STATE ('*Wi-Fi connection information*'): to detect Wi-Fi network changes
|
||||
* RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED ('*Run at startup*'): to start the firewall when booting the device
|
||||
* WAKE_LOCK ('*Prevent device from sleeping*'): to reliably reload rules in the background on connectivity changes
|
||||
* READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ('*Photos/Media/Files*'): to export/import settings on Android versions before 4.4 (KitKat) (there is no need to grant this permission on later Android versions)
|

* VIBRATE: to give feedback on widget tap
