Description
Are you concerned about online privacy, and what information some of your apps might be collecting and sending back home? Do you want to restrict Internet access for some pre-installed vendor apps that can't be disabled in your device settings?
Internet access is a core permission in android that can't be revoked by the user. This allows all kinds of analytics, and other forms of data collection and tracking by your installed apps to occur, of which you have very little control over.
Shieldu is an easy-to-use app that aims to "shield you" against privacy leaks and malware that are an ever-present threat in our modern, connected lives. Any user-installed or pre-installed application or service on your device can be individually denied access to your Internet connection. Shieldu intercepts and discards network packets on both WiFi and Mobile connections for only the apps that you choose, ensuring their data never leaves your device.
Key Features • Simple and intuitive interface • Shows only apps with Internet permission • Can block both user-installed and system apps • Can auto-start in the background after device reboot • Blocks both IPv4 and IPv6 network protocols • Does not connect to any remote servers • Has no tracking or analytics features • Delivers no advertising or other payloads • Requires no suspicious permissions • Does not require root access
Important Notes 1. Shieldu is NOT an ad blocker. Advertisements and push notifications are generally delivered to individual applications through Google Play Services and other platform or third-party framework components.
2. Shieldu utilises the local VPN interface on your android device to intercept and drop network packets. As android only allows one application to use the VPN service at any time, Shieldu is not able to operate concurrently with another app that also requires access to the local VPN interface.
3. Some android devices restrict tethering and VPN services working concurrently. You may need to turn off active shielding in Shieldu while using your device as a mobile hotspot.

It is nice that on long press on a item in the list it shows me all the permissions an App has got. The real problem I got with the App is that the it deactivates its self every time I select or deselect an App.

Not a real firewall, uses vpn to block, not iptables

Have to select each application manually waiting for the version blocking all and ask to grant access. see No ROOT firewall
