Android Firewall has all the same features as Droidwall and then some.
***Android Firewall Features*** Holo UI for all users. Navigation Drawer. Help section that is actually helpful now. Profiles - up to 6 which are created from your exported rules files. Ability to export and import rules to files. These store ALL settings for fine-grained control of your profiles. Tasker/Locale Support. Roaming Support. VPN Support. LAN Support. SDCard Support for users who have a lot of apps installed on their SDCard. Tethering Support. Multiple languages and the ability to choose your language. x86 Support for users with Intel based Android devices. INPUT Chain support for Android 4.x.

Send error reports to developer. Application shortcuts for your homescreen. These shortcuts are for quickly enabling/disabling the firewall and swapping profiles. Llama and Macrodroid support via the shortcuts.
If you install Android Firewall and find that the software is non-functional please use the Send Error Report ability in the app and I will do my best to correct the issues in a very timely manner.

Apps aren't staying blocked on restart. Hi. I am using your firewall from last couple of weeks and I have noticed something strange that I didn't notice earlier. When I apply firewall rules, everything works fine but on phone reboot rules kind of flash and apps are no longer blocked. I have to apply rules again to block these apps. Isn't it strange and should not work that way. Rules should stay. Apart from that, it's a great app and I really liked it. I was using droidwall before your app. 5 star. BTW I have Samsung Galaxy S4 international I9500

Wonderful firewall. Works great. Thank you for scooping up the ashes of the abandoned Droidwall and making it even better than it was.
★★☆☆☆
No longer works After recent updates, the firewall now blocks nothing. All traffic passes even when explicitly blocked. Tried deleting all data and uninstalling, and then reinstalling and re-set up. Does not work any more.

App reverts settings As others have said, app reverts some white listed apps. Hoping the fix comes soon. Will update review when it does
