Root Firewall
Feature:☆ Block Internet access for any apps: ☆ Separate 3G and WiFi data ☆ One-click widget enabled☆ Test blocked app in a touch
Requirements☆ Rooted devices
More details☆ Block Internet access for any apps: One can select to block a selected application or applications, application running as root. Since it blocks Internet access per application ID (UID in regular Linux system), several applications may be assigned the same ID, you should block all of them or nothing.
☆ Separate 3G and WiFi dataFor each application, you can select to block Internet access via either 3G or WiFi channel. It’ s extremely helpful if you don’t have an unlimited data plan. It saves you from over-billing because of background application accessing Internet such as Google+, Google Play or Amazon Music.
☆ One-click widget enabledOne-click widget is the easiest way to toggle blocking status. It’s useful when you don’t want to use data connection and occasionally turn it on for a while.
☆ Test blocked app in a touchOnce you block an app, tap on it to see if the application can access to Internet or not.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Root-Uninstaller/200912803368166

Truly a excellent app. Does exactly as described and blocks phone/wifi data's connection to selected apps. May purchase pro soon if all goes well on a longer test run. Would be nice to be able to block as many apps as desired. But its limited on how many can be selected. Kyocera Hydro 4.0.4 (rooted)
The app is fine except that on my phone it's almost impossible to click on the Wi-Fi option for the apps, because it thinks I'm trying to click on the scroll bar. It just jumps around. Don't put the scroll bar and the radial buttons on the same side of the screen.
Version 2.1 Nexus 5 Didn't block YouTube or reddit is fun from using mobile data, ate up all my data while relying on this app.
useful and safe ,one of the best in the typical android. Easy configure but no working in moto RAZZA dg457/ lol
I'm not able to check or uncheck the WiFi option as it is overlapped with scrollbar. Kindly modify it. I'm thinking to buy the premium version from a long time but I'm not buying due to this UI issue. Please modify your app UI to make it work with Lollipop.
This app is very poorly made ..... When I'm trying to check or uncheck the wifi option for a particular app it is scrolling the page up and down.
Needs more options to block specific traffic as they happen. NoRoot Firewall has more options than this app. The advantage this app has is that it doesn't use a VPN connection. Although your device needs to be rooted.
Rooted Verizon note 3. Can't block Internet access to tap titans but I can turn on airplane mode and play just fine. Interesting as I assumed this app would make my phone think it was in airplane mode.
I don't see how this app works. I applied the settings, opened app to only see advertisement. So i Rebooted, and still see advertisements on the app. I tested this firewall on an app called instasize, a picture format app which has so need for Internet other then to show me advertisements. I'm using a note3 and of course I'm rooted. Idk what I'm doing wrong. I also checked apply to all apps and checked the instasize app..
It says my device isn't rooted while it is. I've used a lot of apps that require root, everything worked fine, but not this.
When ever I tried to check WiFi option , it click the scroll bar cursor automatically.
It directly says no root access, i checked supersu log, it doesnt even fires a request to supersu for root!!!
note 3 neo rooted.its check boxes aligned on vertical scroll line and this confusing. Limited to block 7 programs for free
Everytime I open app , its not asking for root access even my device is properly rooted..
UI is very low.. and when u want to check right most box you just hit scroll bar again and again...
the scroll bar is placed very bad. unable to check wifi block. place checkbox on the left to solve this! there is no use in placing buttons you cant reach
Firewall doesn't work. I tested the same as another reviewer. I blocked YouTube and applied rules. I was asked to give root permission. Allowed root permission. Then I started the YouTube app and was able to watch videos on YouTube even though the firewall was supposed to block it.
Great app! But the scroll bar on the right side makes wifi difficult to tap, please fix it, thanks!
my device is rooted still it shows no root detected whereas all my other root apps are been granted root access & running properly
Nice light app, im happy that it doesnt run in the background..it just does what it says :D
Working well as expected. I have no reason for not giving a 5.
Set it up & it blocked nothing. Waste of time
This app is a spam I did the test with an app, and the root permission was allowed but it didn't block any of the ads. Don't download it !!!
Great app, but selecting to disable WiFi is frustrating because most of the time I end up scrolling instead.
My phone is rooted, but the app still cannot run cuz non-rooted device detected! Weird
But please keep always active the firewall when the device after the reboot or restart.
Allows blocked apps to access internet to download garbage and run up data capacity.
Litarally every time I try to tap on the tick wifi block box the menu gets moved to a different place. Looks to me like the scrolling bar is too close to the buttons. This makes it almost useless for blocking selected wifi using apps. Otherwise it would be a great app. I would seriousy consider buying it if not for this.
