☆ ATTENTION: ROOT REQUIRED!!! If you don't know what root is, please search for "Android root" in the Internet.

Front-end application for the powerful iptables Linux firewall.
Allows you to restrict which apps can access the network.

This is the perfect solution if you don't have an unlimited data plan, or just wants to see your battery lasting longer.

For advanced users, it also allows you to manually define custom iptables rules.

Please remember to disable the firewall before uninstalling, otherwise you will need to reboot your device to turn it off.

Recent changes:

☆ Added application icons to the list.

☆ Added support for a custom shutdown script, which can be used to define cleanup rules when the firewall is disabled.
☆ Avoid reloading the apps list all the time.
☆ Various bug fixes and enhancements.

Latest version: 1.5.7 (pro verzi Android 2.1 nebo vyšší)

Een firewall. Ook voor Android nodig als je klein beetje security-minded bent.

Very nice addition revoke network traffic (requires lib/modules/netfilter on /system)

To use, 1. I rooted phone with http://www.droidforums.net/forum/android-forum/156103-nerdslogic-resource-thread-multiple-phones.html Note that the -widget- button did not work until AFTER I had enabled the firewall from the Application button -> settings -> Enable. Now the widget enables and disables the firewall... very confusing, just glad to have it working finally.

Droidwall is a decent firewall and gets the job done. Much the same as the rest of the firewalls available but lets you control the on/off state of the firewall. It doesn't provide information on what apps are trying to access the network (either via Wifi or 3/4G); which makes troubleshooting access a headache. Another huge problem is the lack of logging and traffic sent by app and connection. It's cool that it's free but maybe they'll release a better paid version that incorporates basic necessary firewall tools.
