NetGuard can prevent applications from using the internet (=firewall).
You can allow/deny internet access for each application, even system applications.

So what the best setting... Use the pic U posted as a reference

There's no "best" - this is subjective.
You have a list of apps, and you can choose whether or not to allow an app access to the Internet over WiFi or Mobile data.
Whether or not you want to let an app access the Internet is up to you.

I have just released alpha version 0.2 with quite some things improved.
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases/tag/0.2

I have just released beta version 0.3
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases/tag/0.3
I am using this version as production software myself now, hence why alpha changed into beta.

Is it (technically) possible to add "on-demand" feature ?

Not on a granular, per-app basis, at least right now.
NetGuard for Android works by creating a VPN service at system level. Based on your choices in the allow/deny screen, NetGuard will set up VPN rules for which apps are forced through the "VPN". The "VPN" isn't a real VPN; rather, it just sinkholes the traffic to nowhere.
The limitation here is that when creating these rules, we can only set which applications' traffic enters the VPN. We can't granularly control which requests or hosts they can talk to, on a per-app basis. It would be possible to set "for all apps" a whitelist/blacklist of IP addresses, but this would be quite different, and would likely be less useful as a firewall, and more useful as simply an "ad blocker".
The VPN interface doesn't tell us which app is trying to access the internet though - we need to set it up before-hand. There are ways to tell, but Google (or a careful OEM) could easily block those with SELinux policy updates, and the goal here is to try to get all the functionality we need without any kind of root access.

Nice app for non rooted users.
I've just created an issue on Github though.
French translation done.
I'll try to create an icon this weekend if I have free time. Let me know if you want a specific color,... etc.

The problem you have reported is probably caused by a broken VPN implementation in your ROM. I will look into it later this week more detailed.
I like to keep the current colors, realizing not everybody will like them, but I know from experience I can't make everybody happy anyway.
Thanks for your translation!

@Primokorn can you please try if you have the same problem with one of the no root firewalls from the Play store?

[APP][5.1+] TrackerControl: Control Trackers and Ads

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is this about?
TrackerControl allows users to monitor and control the widespread, ongoing, hidden data collection in mobile apps about user behaviour ('tracking').
To detect tracking, TrackerControl combines the power of the Disconnect blocklist, used by Firefox, and our in-house blocklist is used, created from analysing ~2 000 000 apps!
Additionally, TrackerControl supports standard blocklists.
This approach
reveals the companies behind tracking,
allows to block tracking selectively, and
exposes the purposes of tracking, such as analytics or advertising.
The app also aims to educate about your rights under Data Protection Law, such the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Under the hood, TrackerControl uses Android's VPN functionality, to analyse apps' network communications locally on the Android device. This is accomplished through a local VPN server, to enable network traffic analysis by TrackerControl.
No external VPN server is used, to keep your data safe!
How to get it?
TrackerControl is available on F-Droid, the most popular open-source Android app store:
Alternatively, the app can be downloaded directly from GitHub, including automatic checks for updates:
https://trackercontrol.org/​
Problems?
You have another VPN service, such as NetGuard? Sorry, only one VPN supported.
You are on Android 9+? Try to disable 'Private DNS' from the settings.
You are on Lineage OS 15.1 / 16? This has known issues with VPN.
Disclaimer: The usage of this app is at your own risk. No app can offer 100% protection against tracking.

HoW is this different from let's say blokada or adguard ?great tool nonetheless

The tool is meant to show you more insights into blocking (e.g. the type of tracking, the companies behind tracking, and destination countries), whilst allowing granular blocking for each app.
By default, all detected tracker communications are blocked, including google.com. This will break stuff and needs more configuration for each app but reduces unwanted and unexpected data collection.

New version comes in 8 languages!
Download here: https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android

TrackerControl now has its own, dedicated website: https://trackercontrol.org/
It's tracker-free.

Too bad it doesn't support custom dns addresses and requires a vpn to use. Would be nice to make it work together with Adguard.

You're right about AdGuard. The VPN solution is meant to make the app easy to use.
However, you can add custom DNS addresses and custom blocklist, auch as AdGuard's, in the settings.

New release:
- FEATURE: Add port forwarding
- Categorise more trackers, add 'Fingerprinting' category
- Fix problems with Android 11
- Clarify updating of block list in UI
- Update translations, libraries, and block list

I'm very impressed with the usability and granularity of this app, but I need to retain the ability to use VPNs. Is there a similar solution for root user? Or is there a way for root users to "chain" VPN connections and use TrackerControl with other VPNs?

I'm afraid that this is still an open problem. Blokada offers VPN for its Pro users, but you need to pay, must trust the Blokada company with your network traffic, and will have a different user experience compared to TC.

Hi James,
This is very kind. There are no plans to introduced any payment or donation option. It's just a personal project. This will mean that updates for TC take more time, the app frontend is less fancy than for similar apps, but hopefully to create an app that you can trust.

It's not just privacy type VPNs I need, I also use VPN to access my home network and work. The best workaround I've found so far is to create additional work profiles using Island or the FOSS fork Insular. Each Android work profile has a separate network connection, so this at least allows me to use all the VPNs I want concurrently, including TrackControl. But not together on the same profile as you're aware.
I saw another post indicating that chaining VPNs together on the same profile requires root access, which I'm fine with, but I still haven't located any info how to actually execute this.
Kudos for creating a great piece of software that really fills a need. You've managed to create a package that is highly effective and reasonably straightforward, not a simple task. Thank you for your work.

I like this workaround! I've added this here: https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android/issues/61
One thing that I'm considering adding is automatic changing of DNS, depending on WiFi networks. This would allow to switch to PI Hole in a local WiFi network if needed.

Fabulous interface!! One thing, what's your thought on adding a quick pad for blocking url?
I.e let's say in log, I found ads.alibaba.bla and want to block. May be a option to send it so block list?
Well the app is a lot cleaner, so may be in advance options, a option with a pad where I write a url, and url will be added to block list?

I want to add domain-based blocking soon. Users would then be able to choose whether they like the easy blocking or want to use advanced blocking instead.

Ads are very disturbing, the come time to time and distracts the process we are doing. I was having a problem with it. But, today my problem is solved. Thanks for the information.

Hi,
I just discovered your app and it looked interesting so I thought I'd give it a trial run. I previously had been using the personal dns filter app which seemed to function pretty well.

Great app.
It lacks the ability to customize the filters and the option to let some programs access the internet without filtering (useful to see ads in games).
There is already another program with the same name (adlock.com).

Sh-ort is a how I reimagined a URL Shortener app using Material Design to build a branded experience, through UI and Motion.
There are several apps that take care of shortening urls, and they are great at what they do but they all have more or less the same design and are a little boring.
Also when you have many urls it is difficult to manage the statistics well and to have everything at hand, maybe a general overview of how your links are performing would be fantastic - I thought - and also give the user the possibility to render the entries in the list more recognizable thanks to the preview of the article, or of the page whose URL you have shortened.
Then I thought about who could use the app, to a tempt who perhaps manages several websites for work, and who might want to see how the links belonging to the same site perform.
I have created a small app that attempts to improve the experience with URL shortener, through its structure (overview, all links, best links), the ability to filter links based on the site they belong to, the date, or whether they are added to favorites or not.
The details department is still in its early stages but you can have the complete statistics on clicks already by default, without the need for a subscription as happens in major similar apps.
Of course there is still a lot to improve, so I trust in your feedback to find bugs and to add features that I missed in this first release.
There is a complete lack of translations in all languages and dark mode, which will be implemented once the app has reached a modest number of functions and use cases, making it an attractive app for the average and pro user.
Find more information on my app design and branding process in the Medium article linked below, as well as the link to download the app.
I look forward to hearing from you and your feedback, thanks for your attention.

Sorry, I meant syncing and saving, not Google tracking me.
Just installed/uninstalled, the app won't even start without a Google login.
I'm not interested in saving, collecting, or syncing shortened URL's, just sending “one and done” links from my phone. Can you tweak this to eliminate the login?

The app is designed to assign an owner to every short url so the owner can check the short url performance. If you are not interested in stats means that this is not an app that fits your needs.

Hello, thanks for reaching out but I cannot guess what is the problem just knowing your android version. For sure I can say that have not passed at least 3 hours yet since you got crashes because the crash console is flat.

Well, now, at least internet works while it's on, but i can't see it's effectiveness - websites are full of ads.
What filters are you using? At what countries it's targeted on? Too lazy to check&compare internal filter within /data/data

Just sent you message through app. It's quite dissapointing, that logs will be sent to you without user knowing about it - there's no such info, that logs will be sent automatically.

i found a similar problem as yours, see here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/mlituo
An user complains that vpn app doesn't work after rooting and installing Magisk app.
I think that some system apps (such as if the one responsible for VPNs) can be removed after rooting and the magisk app installation.
