Android Firewall+ is an advanced iptables editor (GUI) for Android. It provides fine-grained control over which Android apps are allowed to access the network.
The original codebase was derived from DroidWall by Rodrigo Rosauro. DroidWall was sold to AVAST in December 2011, and is no longer actively maintained.
For more information and community discussions, please visit the XDA thread or our Wiki.

Please see the issues section to report any bugs or feature requests and to see the list of known issues. Before you report a bug, please take a look here.
- A firewall cannot protect against attacks that are performed outside the operating point. For example, if there is a Point-to-Point connection to the internet.
- A firewall cannot prevent corporate data from being copied to a memory stick or HDD.
- AFWall+ does not scan for virus/malware that may exist in the data that passes through it, because a firewall is not an antivirus solution.
AFWall+ has been successfully tested with Android version 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x (ICS, JellyBean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow) and is reported to work with most Android variants, including stock ROMs.
It is not recommended to use AFWall+ in combination with any similar solution because this could result in conflicts and potential data leaks (iptables could be overwritten).
- Make a backup (e.g. with Titanium Backup)
- Do not remove the previous version (otherwise your settings might get lost)
- Download the new version
- Install the new version over the previous version
- Done!
AFWall+ asks for the following Android permissions:
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows AFWall+ to autostart after Android finishes booting.
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows AFWall+ to access information about networks (iptables).
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows AFWall+ to write to external storage for the debug log and to export iptables rules.
- ACCESS_SUPERUSER: Standard to support Superuser/SuperSU (by Koushik/Chainfire).
- INTERNET: NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces() needs android.permission.INTERNET. This is just being used to get the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses/subnets for each interface, so the LAN address ranges can be determined. Nothing is actually trying to access the network. Also take a look at Stackoverflow.
- ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows AFWALL+ to detect the tether state.

Prerequisites:
- Android SDK in your
$PATH(bothplatform-tools/andtools/directories) - Javac 1.7 (or higher) and a recent version of Apache ant in your
$PATH - Git in your
$PATH - Use the Android SDK Manager to install API 19 (or higher)
Quick start:
git clone git://github.com/ukanth/afwall
cd afwall
./gradlew clean assembleDebug
For complete instructions, please take a look at the How To Compile AFWall+ Wiki.
On the host side, you will need to install:
- NDK r10, nominally under
/opt/android-ndk-r10 - Host-side gcc 4.7, make, etc. (Red Hat "Development Tools" group or Debian build-essential)
- autoconf, automake, and libtool
This command will build the Android binaries and copy them into res/raw/:
make -C external NDK=/opt/android-ndk-r10
