AppNet Control – App Firewall

AppNet Control – App Firewall is a powerful, lightweight, and completely no-root internet firewall engineered for Android. Take 100% control over your device’s network traffic by selectively blocking or allowing internet connectivity for individual applications, eliminating silent background data drain, stopping covert telemetry, and securing dual/cloned profiles—with zero cloud servers and 100% on-device packet filtering.

Core Features & Privacy Shield

• 🚫 1-Tap Selective Internet Blocking: Instantly block Wi-Fi and mobile data access for any installed app without requiring root privileges.
• 👥 Dual Apps & Multi-Profile Support: Native recognition for Work Profiles, Samsung Dual Messenger, Xiaomi Dual Apps, Shelter, and Island with independent toggle controls.
• ⏰ Automated Schedules & Bedtime Filters: Set granular time-of-day and day-of-week rules (e.g. automatically disable distracting social apps from 10 PM to 7 AM).
• 🔍 Real-Time Network Traffic Inspector: Inspect live dropped TCP, UDP, and DNS connections with source UID, timestamp, destination IP, and domain records.
• 💾 JSON Backup & Rule Restores: Export your firewall rules and scheduled profiles to secure JSON files for quick multi-device setup.
• 🔒 100% Local On-Device VpnService: Operates strictly via a local loopback packet filter. Not a single byte of traffic is ever transmitted to remote VPN proxy servers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does AppNet Control require root access?
A: No. It leverages Android’s native VpnService API as a secure local virtual interface, enabling complete per-app packet filtering without root.

Q: Is my network data routed to an external VPN server?
A: Absolutely not. AppNet Control acts strictly as a local on-device firewall loopback filter. Your network traffic never leaves your phone to any remote VPN or proxy server.

Q: Can I block internet for Dual Messenger or cloned apps?
A: Yes! AppNet Control natively detects secondary user profiles and Dual Apps, allowing you to configure rules independently for cloned applications.
