Comments on AFWall+ (Android Firewall +) for Android
★★★★☆Myc Clark· Apr 9, 2022
Multiple times a day I'll find a notification that states the rules could not be applied. However, when I open the app and manually apply the rules they apply successfully. Enabled logging, nothing shows up. Pixel 5a on 12.
★★★★★Rubens Furbetta· Sep 8, 2024
Excellent app. Is the only root-based firewall app I could find which really works in Android 12. Well done dev, please keep up the good work !
★★★★☆A Google user· Apr 27, 2024
1) needs a "save" button in addition to "apply," for editing profiles that you don't want to activate yet. 2) needs a roaming exclusion list, because data roaming charges in the EU are long gone. Have a look at Xposed module "Roaming Control" to see how to code such an exclusion feature.
★★★★★Vedāntin Bhakta· Mar 29, 2025
Really awesome firewall. The only feature it's missing & I don't know if it's even possible to implement is: a toggle that will enable auto-whitelisting internet for new apps installed by the user to the exclusion of apps installed by other means. Often times branded phones auto-install apps in the background without your permission. It would be good to ignore those apps & leave them disabled from the internet by default until the user explicitly allows it.
★★☆☆☆APP Cʜᴇᴄᴋ· Feb 7, 2024
... good Firewall, but not very safe, because it blocks not all like some Messenger, Browser etc.
★☆☆☆☆Gary Forsyth· Jul 15, 2022
Hardly worth the download doesn't tell you that this firewall is activated or not nowhere to activate it either so what's the point in this program then I can not see any point at all
★★☆☆☆Satyajit Lawand· Sep 11, 2021
Does Its job excellent but have one issue I'm not able to make or receive calls. Hence, uninstalled. Will install again if these issue addressed. If possible suggest workaround, so I'll be able to make or receive calls on VoIP. (Jio)
★★☆☆☆JD· Oct 29, 2024
The 3.6.1 update broke the app over here. Every time I open it it crashes immediately. Didn't know what was the issue. Then I noticed that Google upgraded all my apps despite me having disabled auto updates for the nth time already. That point release somehow broke the app. Downgrading to my .0 backup fixed it.

Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra not working magisk root Could not find support for iptables targets and chains. AF Wall+ might not work as expected due to this limitation. EXIT CONTINUE 😕😑😒😢
