***FAQS***
Why does Mobiwol No Root Firewall show as if using a VPN connection?
This is superficial. We've used technology available to us from within the VPN packaging module offered by Android to be able to gain visibility to your applications' network activities and apply firewall rules without having to ask for root permissions like other Android Firewall apps. However, no actual VPN connection is being made, no data is being sent externally by our application, and we do not tamper with the security of your personal data, so you can continue using your apps with peace of mind, and confidence that you will not end up with a higher than usual data bill at the end of the month.
----------------------
Why Can't I accept the VPN Prompt?
You will need to select the checkbox first and then the button becomes enabled. If you are having problems selecting the checkbox, it is likely that you have another app that creates an overlay on the active screen that is preventing you from selecting the checkbox.
These two threads explain the problem further and give some examples of apps that do this-

----------------------
Why does Mobiwol top the data usage chart?
It’s an illusion. Mobiwol uses your device’s VPN package to create a firewall. As every data packet sent or received by your apps passes through the VPN, all the incoming and outgoing data traffic gets attributed to Mobiwol.
The good part, however, is that Mobiwol now comes with its own Data Usage feature which allows you to check data usage for each app. To view the usage, choose Data Usage from the home screen.

★★☆☆☆
Eventhough every setting for an app is switched off and all permissions granted to Mobiwol - the apps still connect to the internet. How is this even possible since I restricted all connections?? Mobiwol has therefore failed me. Uninstalling.
★★☆☆☆
the app does not deliver what it promises. I disabled all apps to access internet and still my DNS server kept seeing request coming from my phone.
★★☆☆☆
این نرم افزار برای کارکردن، از شما یه مجوز و تایید میگیره که بتونه بدون محدودیت به تمام قسمتهای گوشی، نرم افزار، سخت افزار دسترسی کامل داشته باشه، یک نرم افزار کاملا غیر قابل اعتماد و پر ریسک هست، تعجب میکنم از گوگل پلی که اجازه فعالیت همچین اپ هایی رو میده
