**(65) Why can NetGuard not block itself?**
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, if NetGuard could block itself, you should trust that NetGuard really blocks itself,
|
||||
which is basically the same as trusting that NetGuard doesn't connect to the internet when not needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that NetGuard needs to connect to the internet to forward traffic of other apps to the internet and to lookup information on IP addresses,
|
||||
see also [this FAQ](#user-content-faq55).
|
||||
|
||||
NetGuard could block itself in older versions,
|
||||
but this required calling [VpnService.protect](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/VpnService.html#protect(int)) for each and every connection.
|
||||
Since there are lots of connections of lots of apps in a typical Android environment,
|
||||
this resulted in wasting battery power and in crashes on some Android versions with bugs in this function.
|
||||
|
||||
So, because blocking NetGuard with itself didn't added anything useful
|
||||
and to save on battery power and to prevent crashes blocking NetGuard with itself was removed.

**NetGuard is supported for phones and tablets only, so not for other device types like televisions or vehicles.**
