Android Firewall Donate v2.1.0
Requirements: 2.2 and up
Overview: This is a fork of the popular
application Droidwall that uses iptables to limit data usage and add
security to Android. Droidwall was originally created by developer
Rodrigo Zechin Rosauro.
The app was discontinued and did not function correctly on Android 4.x. So I decided to fix it.
***ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED***
If you don’t know what ROOT ACCESS is please read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_rooting
Android Firewall has all of the capabilities of Droidwall. It supports Android 2.2 and greater.
A firewall on Android is a great tool
when it comes to the tiered data plans carriers have moved to and that’s
not even talking about the added security a firewall brings.
If you install Android Firewall and
find that the software does not work correctly please install BusyBox
and a Terminal Emulator. Both applications can be found on the Play
Store. Open the Terminal Emulator and type “busybox route” without the
quotes. Please send an e-mail to me with the output from that command to
help in my troubleshooting.
You can also post issues or requests on my Github. https://github.com/skullone/
NOTE: HTC Thunderbolt users on Android 4.x ROMS can now block cellular data if you are running ROM’s based on Liquid MR3.
Android Firewall is open source software under GPL v3.
Android Firewall source code is available here: http://github.com/skullone/android_firewall
****Profile instructions****
Profiles are based off of exported
rules files. The rules files contain ALL settings and not just app
rules. This means things like Notifications, IPv6, Logs can be
controlled by the profile as well. You can have up to 6 different
profiles. They can be quickly activated by the drop down spinner.
1. Set up your rules.
2. Set up your options.
3. Export your rules.
4. Menu -> Profile Management -> Create Profile
5. Choose which profile you want to create/modify.
6. Choose the rules file you want to assign to that profile.
7. Load the profile through the menu or through the spinner drop down.
What’s in this version:
Changes in version 2.1.0:
Invert option added for Data/Wifi for users who swap between Whitelist/Blacklist.
Profiles functionality added.
Notifications no longer appear for updated apps.
Menu overhaul. Menu now more user friendly.
Translations updated. Thanks to all who helped with those. Joffrey, Alex, iptux, and Hiroki.
