NetGuard

Short description

NetGuard, the first open source no-root firewall for Android

Long description

NetGuard is a simple way to block access to the internet - no root required.

Applications can individually be allowed or denied access to your WiFi and/or mobile connection.

Blocking access to the internet can help:

  • reduce your data usage
  • save your battery
  • increase your privacy

NetGuard is possibly the first free and open source no-root firewall for Android.

Features:

  • No root required
  • Simple to use
  • Free of charge
  • Open source
  • No extra battery usage
  • No bandwidth reduction
  • No calling home
  • No tracking or analytics
  • No ads
  • IPv4/IPv6 TCP/UDP supported
  • Block system and user applications

Most of these features are the result of sending selected traffic to a 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.
