NetGuard can be used on rooted devices too and even offers more features than most root firewalls.
Some Android versions, expecially not updated Samsung Android versions, have a buggy VPN implementation,
Some Android versions, especially Samsung's Android versions, have a buggy VPN implementation,
which results in Android refusing to start the VPN service in certain circumstances,
like when there is no internet conncectivity yet (when starting up your device)
like when there is no internet connectivity yet (when starting up your device)
or when incorrectly requiring manual approval of the VPN service again (when starting up your device).
Unfortunately these Android bugs cannot be worked around by NetGuard.
NetGuard will try to workaround this and remove the error message when it succeeds, else you are out of luck.
Some LineageOS versions have a broken Android VPN implementation, causing all traffic to be blocked,
please see [this FAQ](https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq51) for more information.
NetGuard is not supported for apps installed in a [work profile](https://developer.android.com/work/managed-profiles)
or in a [Secure Folder](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-the-secure-folder-and-how-do-i-use-it/) (Samsung)
because the Android VPN service too often does not work correctly in this situation, which can't be fixed by NetGuard.
Filtering mode cannot be used on [CopperheadOS](https://copperhead.co/android/).
