Android Firewall APK
Android Firewall APK
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***
Depending on what Super User app you use (Koush’s Superuser, Chainfire’s SuperSU, or ChainsDD’s Superuser) you will see a new permission. This permission is for root access. This permission will either say “Default – Full permissions to all device features and storage” or
“Superuser – Full permissions to all device features and storage?”
What you see is based on the super user app you use.
Information on new android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER can be read about here

****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.
