InternetGuard No Root Firewall

InternetGuard is an application that allows users to block access to the internet on their mobile devices. This can help reduce data usage, save battery life, increase privacy, and take control of mobile apps. The app is simple to use and does not require root access on Android devices. It also does not track or collect any user data, making it a safe and secure option for internet blocking.

The app is actively developed and supported, and is compatible with Android 5.1 and later versions. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/UDP protocols, as well as tethering and multiple device users. Users can choose to allow or block app connectivity, and can also block background app activity. They can also receive alerts when new apps access the internet and block adult websites.

InternetGuard offers a variety of features, including the ability to automatically launch on device startup, identify and notify when newly installed apps access the web, and set allow/block preferences on a per-application basis. Users can also disable background activity for selected apps and get full data usage visibility. The app has a material design theme with light and dark options, and also allows users to log outgoing traffic, search and filter access attempts, and export PCAP files for traffic analysis.

One unique feature of InternetGuard is its ability to allow or block individual addresses per application. The app also sends notifications for new applications and allows users to configure settings directly from the notification. It also displays a network speed graph in the status bar notification and offers five additional themes in both light and dark versions.

InternetGuard stands out from other no-root firewalls because it uses the device's VPN package to create a firewall. This means that all data traffic is attributed to InternetGuard, giving users a clear view of their data usage. However, the app also has its own Data Usage feature, which allows users to check data usage for each app. The app's source code is also available on GitHub for transparency and originality.

It is important to note that InternetGuard is based on the VPN interface and works as a proxy between apps and servers. It does not steal or send any user data. The app is a reliable and secure option for blocking internet access on mobile devices, making it a top choice for users looking to reduce data usage, save battery, and increase privacy.
