About LightningWall
This app is an firewall for the installed apps. Only apps with permission "android.permission.INTERNET" are shown. IPv4 and IPv6 are supported together with TCP and UDP. You could configure outgoing and incomming connections independent from each other.
The rules could be applied for each network: W-Lan, local network, mobile, roaming, unknown.
Logging is configurable for incomming/outgoing and allowed/denied connections.
Features:
* No iptables required, the kernel doesn't need to support it.
* The firewall is active when Android starts, no startup data leak.
* The rules are always active, no re-apply on connection change is needed.
Limitiation:
* Host names in the log file are PTR entries.
Colors:
* Blue: Template is used.
* Yellow: Custom settings.
* Green: The app is trusted.
* Red: The app is blocked.
Donation:
* No self-promotion in the app.
* You could trust or block an app (Menu/ActionBar)
* You could use a template for not configured apps
* Additional (experimental) networks: Bluetooth, WiMAX, Ethernet
* Tasker support, per App
* You support this app and further development!
Permissions:

great app... "Version 3.8.3 2099-12-31 UI changes & more New option: Flight mode" I'm wondering where to get this update. (I have the "DefimDonator.license" file in storage) Also, like someone else already mentioned it doesn't block any browsers. No problem for me. But how can I be sure it won't fail to block other apps

Doesnt work for browsers?. I blocked all connection for the browsers but i could still browse normally. The logs showed it denied chrome and opera connections. Note 3 jb4.3. Xposed v2.6.1. Stock ROM/Kernel

It works and does what it say it does. However, major functions are lacking. No import/export, no filters of any kind, no batch rule application and its not clear how the templates will work. Can there be multiple templates, is it one that applies to everything? I can't justify donating as the app stands right now.

Doesn't block anything.... Settings don't stick, all apps enabled by default meaning you need to waste time going through all apps manually setting them... After configuring an app, bizarrely it just disappears from the main list... UI makes no sense... Use af+ it works

I am a paid user (bought the donation package). The firewall works well. I love its logging feature. One problem though. It seems to block hotspot. That is, if I use the phone as a hotspot, the the device that uses the hotspot, can connect to wifi, but it cant get to Internet. If I disable this module, then everything works fine. So, definitely the firewall is doing something here.
