The best firewall for Android. It allows to hav firewall + VPN + Ad Blocker and more in one device. Tons of features my favorite is to block (isolate) apps with trackers and only allow the necessary urls to work. It has support for DNS over Https (personally I use NextDNS) Support WireGuard VPN configuration .
A life saver for privacy nerds
A few minor bugs, but the complete package: per-app IP/hostname white/blacklist firewall, DNS over HTTPS, per-app Tor, stats, custom settings, etc.
Best firewall for Android, it's feature packed. Network monitor, firewall, DNS resolving options, rules, adblocking filters,...
I am testing but I have found only this product that freely combines firewall, monitor connection and DNS choice, a full suite utility. I appreciate the possibility to block the ip address or the whole app engaging in internet traffic, the monitor feature is superb!
