Cyber Shutter - Firewall

Cyber Shutter — the on-device firewall for Android

Your apps are chatty. Android lets you gate the camera and the mic — but once an app has internet, there's no off switch.

Cyber Shutter is that off switch. It's a firewall that runs entirely on your phone. Flip one switch, tap "Allow," and every app's outbound traffic flows through a filter you control. Nothing is routed through our servers — because there are none.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Block an entire app's internet with a single toggle.
• Block specific websites or domains — for one app, or across every app.
• Hard-block by IP for hosts that don't resolve by name.
• See each app's recent connections and how much was blocked today.
• Stop DNS-level trackers before they resolve.
• Get warned when Private DNS (DoT/DoH) is bypassing your host rules.
• Look up any host's WHOIS with one tap.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% on-device. No account, no sign-up, no cloud.
• No analytics. No telemetry. No data collected, sold, or shared — ever.
• No traffic sent to any external VPN provider.
• We never decrypt your traffic. Cyber Shutter reads only what is already in the clear — the domain names your apps look up — to enforce your rules.
• The only network requests it makes are your own apps' DNS lookups, forwarded to the same resolver your phone already uses.

HOW IT WORKS
Android requires a local VpnService to filter traffic per app. Cyber Shutter uses one — but the "VPN" is virtual and lives on your device. There is no remote server and no traffic forwarding off the phone.

BUILT FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST POWER USERS
No config files. No root. No technical setup. One switch, and a clean list of every app you can toggle. Search, filter, and manage rules in seconds. Light and dark themes included.

WHY A FIREWALL, NOT A VPN
Cloud VPNs move your traffic onto someone else's servers. Cyber Shutter does per-app, on-device filtering — you see exactly who is talking, and you decide who stays quiet.

Note: Cyber Shutter runs a local VpnService only to filter traffic on your device. It does not provide anonymity, hide your IP address, or route traffic through any external server.
