ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED
Android Firewall Donate 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.
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.
Profile instructions

- Set up your rules.
- Set up your options.
- Export your rules.
