About NetGuard

NetGuard uses Android's own VPN service to block outbound connections per application, with separate rules for Wi-Fi and mobile data, roaming and screen state. It requires no root and shows a live log of what each app is trying to reach.

Strengths

  • Per-app blocking with separate Wi-Fi and mobile rules, without root
  • Live traffic log showing exactly what each app contacts

Limitations

  • Occupies the VPN slot, so it cannot run alongside a real VPN
  • Some features are unlocked by an in-app purchase
