Used to be great but now it seems every single time I boot the phone the firewall doesn't actually get applied so ALL internet access is blocked unless I manually open the app and "apply" the settings. If I forget to do this I can go half the day and be missing emails and messages because the phone is locked down. EDIT: this appears to be fixed by turning off experimental setting "fix startup data leak".

This is a must have app for anyone on a prepaid mobile data plan. My issue was the service "android os" was eating up 40% of my data. I use mobile data for Waze navigation and this AFWall was the only firewall that could of blocked "Andriod OS" (Used accept only Waze, during my drive). Buying the donate key is the least I can do to help support for this great application present & future.

I disable firewall before using data-dependent apps, & re-enable it after I've completed & am going to leave the phone to standby. But after a certain time of standby (screen off), I unlock the screen & find that all the blocked apps are running, along with the notification "firewall running"..then by disabling & re-enabling the firewall works again, but only for a short time after which the problem reappears..fix this please, the features really fits for me!

While small fix from previous ver is apreciated, it always comes with new bugs... For no real reason app constantly reloads access to su account, why ??? This happens every 10 minutes to which i guess it constantly wants to reload ip tables, why so often ???

When applying the rules the firewall just says working applying ip table rules.

In v2.5.2, I can use seperate VPN Control while not enabling Active Rules. But in v2.9.1, I must enable Active Rules to use VPN Control. Please don't bind VPN Control with Active Rules. I want to be able to use VPN Control with Active Ruled disabled.

Every time this app updates, it needs new permissions for root access. If permission isn't given right away, it kills your phone battery.

1 of my absolute favourite apps, Highly reccomended. My only issue I have, It does keep saying every 2 3 minutes "granting service permission" quite often even after its been granted. Can this be fixed? as gets anoying constantly seing it pop up. Other then that amazing app. Please continue to develop it. Love it!.
