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
|
|
|

|
There is no other no-root firewall offering all these features.
|
|
Most other firewall solutions will use extra battery and reduce the overall network speed.
|
|
|
|
Most of these features are the result of sending selected traffic to a VPN sinkhole, instead of filtering all internet traffic.
|
|
This means that advanced features, like address-based filtering (needed for hosts blocking), traffic logging, and on-demand configuration, are not possible.
|
|
|
|
Since NetGuard has no internet permission, you know your internet traffic is not being sent anywhere.
