What is AFWall+?

The AFWall+ (Android Firewall +) is a powerful and customizable iptables-based firewall for Android devices. It provides users with granular control over their network traffic, allowing them to selectively enable or disable internet access for specific applications. The app features an intuitive interface that makes it easy to manage firewall rules, with options to import and export rules to external storage for backup and sharing purposes.

Highlights

  • Import/Export Rules to external storage: Users can easily backup and restore their firewall configurations, as well as share them with others
  • Multiple profiles with custom names: The app allows users to create and switch between different firewall profiles, each with its own set of rules, making it easy to adapt to different usage scenarios
  • Highlights system applications with custom color: The app visually distinguishes system applications from user-installed ones, making it easier for users to identify and manage critical system components
  • Notify on new installations: The app alerts users whenever a new application is installed on the device, allowing them to quickly review and configure the firewall settings for that application
  • VPN Support: The app integrates with VPN connections, ensuring that users' internet traffic is properly filtered and secured even when using a virtual private network
  • Device Admin support: The app can be configured as a device administrator, protecting it from being uninstalled and ensuring that the firewall remains active even in the face of potential security threats.
