**(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.
