Comments on NetGuard - no-root firewall for Android

★★★★★ Open source, no data is being shared or collected, no bad ads, strong on privacy and works perfect without any root or modification. There is also an extensive faq for all the questions that needs answering. Without a doubt the best firewall app in existence for Android.

★★★★★ Not only does this Net guard stop annoying ads in some apps, but by stopping them it keeps apps from frying your phone! Apparently getting ads uses all your RAM & increases the temp on your phone! Some apps won't run at all without network connection, but that isn't the fault of Net guard. This is a very intelligent app with a ton of amazing features that can help you keep your phone in YOUR control only! Check out all the features! This app does more than promised & is so easy to use!

★★☆☆☆ Good app, but the interface has to be redesigned and a feature which allow or block all CDN URLs is missing (you have to allow manually every URL). Additionally, the default behavior (block or allow) is not respected: so all my apps have made requests to the US government website ! Note for you developers: this review does not intend to give you a bad review, but more to highlight you there are problems and features requests we are all looking after. Happy to discuss them in a bug tracker.

★★☆☆☆ Only seems to work some of the time, apps are still connecting to data even though both data and Wi-Fi are "blocked". Logs are locked behind a paywall, so can't troubleshoot the problem.

★★☆☆☆ When Net Guard runs, it disables VPN access of another app I used: Ad Away. I can only run Net Guard or Ad Away - not both. After checking Android source codes, it seems VPN is limited to a singular access tunnel. So I decided to root my device to use Ad Away and AF Wall+ together on Android 10. Changed ratings for Net Guard for best effort, but Net Guard is not a solution I can use due to conflict with Ad Away.
