Description

NetGuard is an internet security app, which offers simple and advanced ways to restrict apps' access to the internet.

Applications and addresses can individually be allowed or denied access to your Wi-Fi and/or mobile connection. Root permissions are not required.

Blocking access to the internet can help:

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

Features:

• Simple to use
• No root required
• 100% open source
• No calling home
• No tracking or analytics
• No advertisements
• Actively developed and supported
• Android 5.1 and later supported
• IPv4/IPv6 TCP/UDP supported

• Optionally allow when screen on
• Optionally block when roaming
• Optionally block system applications
• Optionally notify when an application accesses the internet
• Optionally record network usage per application per address

PRO features:

• Log all outgoing traffic; search and filter access attempts; export PCAP files to analyze traffic
• Allow/block individual addresses per application
• New application notifications; configure NetGuard directly from the notification
• Display network speed graph in a status bar notification
• Select from five additional themes in both light and dark version

There is no other no-root firewall offering all these features.

If you like to test new features, you can participate in the test program: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eu.faircode.netguard

All required permissions are described here: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq42

NetGuard uses the Android VPNService to route traffic to itself, so it can be filtered on-device instead of on a server. Only one app can use this service at the same time, which is a limitation of Android.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★Definitely the best app to control bandwidth usage. Able to turn off apps that can use WIFI and Mobile data. Best app I've seen so far.

5 ★One of the best app that any phone I purchase I will always have this app. It's fast, stable and no issues at all

1 ★Im glad I didnt pay to this app. It simply does not work. I test it with FB messenger for a week and the messages keep coming in. Edit: I would rate it zero if I could. The promise is to block internet from an app. Your app failed misserably to do so. I keep receiving messages from mesenger.

3 ★It's a great app but after about a month or so of using it, apps that I marked to block data began using data all of a sudden. I'm on a Samsung A51.

5 ★This just does what it is supposed to do in the background constantly without disruption to speed or performance

3 ★Some apps are denied both WiFi and mobile, but they still show ads normally. It means they still have access to Internet.

3 ★I've been using this app for a short period but after one update when I'm switching to wifi from mobile data the app is giving access to the internet to the restricted app or locked app

4 ★This app is nice I like this app I thought that this app will not work too nice but when I used this app then my all lag was vanished I can easily free style with my favourite hero chou I gave this 4 stars

5 ★Works exactly as described. However logging traffic is a premium feature.

5 ★Top notch! Allows me to avoid certain websites by blocking them. Best investment and well worth the purchase!

5 ★Great app, with great support. As far as non-root firewas go, it is without a doubt the best.

5 ★I really love this app. Please don't get dissapointed by critical comments. I love your app. Please keep doing your best.you are my best go to for privacy feature.
