I can confirm I've issues with ads coming through on new installed (blocked) 
apps.
Also blocking the standard browser does not work, it still reaches the internet 
without issues.

I don't think this was the case on 3.0, now I've 4.0.3 (rooted official image)
I've not investigated on the rules yet but I think there might be an issue.

Interesting... I use ICS 4.0.3 on my Nexus S and it works perfectly. I will 
investigate

I have also avast mobile beta which has firewall, though this is not related to 
droidwall. Droidwall and avast both dont seem to work after applying rules. Is 
this somehow related?

The problem seem to be related to "Set mobile data limit" setting. Enabling 
this option will allow internet access to all applications regardless of the 
Droid Wall settings. Disabling it will restore Droid Wall functionality. The 
issue is not related to Droid Wall, the same thing happens with Avast.

I would like to see Droidwall able to work with ICS mobile data limit. I would 
attempt this myself but I never properly learned Java programming, but I do 
know iptables rules (no pun intended).

attached is a few dumps of iptables on my Galaxy Nexus. I restricted background 
data on two apps, hence contents in penalty box. 

"neat" is with both droidwall and mobile data limit ("limit") disabled. 
"limit" is with only limit on. 
"droidwall" is with only droidwall on.
"droidwalllimit" is with both on.

The problem is with chain "costly_rmnet0" and how ICS handles it. In the main 
OUTPUT chain, rule to go there is second in position; that to droidwall is 
last. the "costly" rule has "goto" set, and with an ACCEPT rule at its end, 
means iptables stops parsing rules before reaching the droidwall chain. The 
simple way around is to insert droidwall's rule in position 1. This makes 
sense, as droidwall users will expect rules there to take precedence, having 
set them up themselves.

Another interesting note is that ICS always insert the mobile data limit rules 
into position 2 of INPUT and OUTPUT chains. Usually the first rule is related 
to data usage warning. Looks like Google left a gap for us to put our own rules 
first.

DroidWall does not work for me at all with ICS (Android 4.0.3, SGS2).

Specifically, I block mobile data for the Play Store in DroidWall with and 
without the above custom script (and also LBE Privacy Guard, but this shouldn't 
interfere as it does not appear to use iptables).  Whether or not I also 
restrict mobile data via the system settings, the Play Store still loads its 
store frontend via mobile data.

Any ideas?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I am running ICS (ICSSGS ROM, Android 4.0.3, SGS GT-I9000)

The two lines of custom script worked fine for me. Sorry, to pull out the basic
troubleshooting questions, but:

1) did you double check to see if you made spelling errors in the custom script?
2) is your droidwall enabled?
3) did you accidently tick the 'any' option under 3g in droidwall?
4) Is your droidwall set to whitelist or blacklist mode? Droidwall starts in 
whitelist mode (allow selected) by default, so ticking the store would grant it 
mobile access. This is displayed at the top of the screen beneath your 
droidwall version number.

On a side note, 'restrict mobile data' only disables background data for an 
app, so the store will still load normally when you open it, since that is 
foreground data usage.

Thanks for the quick reply.  For the record, I'm using the Lite'ning ROM 2.6 
(w/4.0.3) on a GT-i9100.

1) Yes, of course.
2) Yes, of course.
3) No.
4) Black-list, with 3G ticket selectively for apps (and system components) I 
want to block from using mobile data.

I've meanwhile read that LBE Privacy Guard has recently switched its 
implementation to using iptables as well.  However, `iptables -L` listed only 
DroidWall rules, so I figure there shouldn't be a conflict.  I'll try disabling 
LBE temporarily and see whether this makes DroidWall's rules take effect.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Addendum: I've frozen LBE Privacy Guard, taking it out of the picture.  
Background data restriction is disabled in the system settings.  DroidWall is 
configured as before (black-list mode, disable 3G for the Play Store and 
various other apps and components).  The Play Store _still_ manages to load its 
frontend (previously unloaded pages to avoid being fooled by caching).

Sorry, drawing a blank here.

If you do find a solution though, please post it here. It would be interesting 
to see what it was in the end.

IPTABLES -D OUTPUT -j droidwall
IPTABLES -I OUTPUT 2 -j droidwall

these 2 lines solved my problem in ICS4.0.4 with Google Nexus. 
so it is the priority of droidwall's rule faults, would you update the apps to 
resolve the issue, people don't like anything relate to "script"

Didn't work on 4.0.3 by adding these lines in custom script:

$IPTABLES -I OUTPUT 2 -j droidwall
Does anyone has solution?
Thanks.

The two lines work!
BUT you have to apply the rules at every boot of the phone.
We need a new version 100% compatible with ICS.

Before adding the two lines, DroidWall only works for Wifi rather than Data.

I noticed that by changing the app permissions & giving it full permission,the 
rules are applied after re-booting;using xplore goto /root/mnt/asec/ and check 
for the apk file if installed on SD card or 
/root/system/app/com.googlecode.droidwall.free.apk if installed as a system app

The two lines work. Only down side is when you reboot you have to manually 
re-apply droidwall rules.
Tried giving /data/app/com.googlecode.droiwall.free.apk full right's but it 
didn't work, still have to re-apply rules.

On a RAZR XT910 ICS 4.0.4 The two lines didn't work :(

I tried this two options:

1. Create the .log file with the two lines

$IPTABLES -D OUTPUT -j droidwall
$IPTABLES -I OUTPUT 2 -j droidwall

on this route:
/mnt/sdcard/pmw/logs/dw3.log

And add the route into the Custom Script Option on Droidwall like this:
. /mnt/sdcard/pmw/logs/dw3.log

2. Just copy/paste the two lines into the Custom Script Option on Droidwall.

No ones works. Any idea?

Samsung GALAXY Note 4.0.4 ICS with stock rom + speedmod kernel + rooted
By adding those two lines, it work after apply the new rules.

using DroidWall version 1.5.7
Both Wifi and 3G Data work

I just need to re-apply the firewall rules after each reboot.

Thank you!

I added the two lines and it doesn't work. I'm using 4.0.4.
Many people report that it works but I see the same behavior as before the 
lines where added. For the moment I'll have to disable data monitoring. It'll 
be great if droidwall could report data consumption so we don't have to rely on 
android. I don't know what's easier, make droidwall report data consumption or 
make it compatible with android's "firewall"

On a RAZR XT910 ICS 4.0.4 with following one line DroidWall works (i.e. block 
internet via 3G):
iptables -A droidwall -j droidwall-3g -o qmi+
It is important that all letters (exept "-A") will be low case.

for me the two lines do not work (2G/3G is not blocked, wifi works):
SGS2, CM9
but after disableling mobile data limitation, it works for 2G/3G as well!

next I will try it wihout the "two lines", but just without mobile data limit...

YES, I GOT THE PROBLEM NOW!
- droidwall is working well as long as data limitation is off.
- if droidwall is on, the two lines above (moving droidwall to position 2) 
solves the problem!
- but when mobile data is disconnected, the limiting firewall OUTPUT rule 
(costly_rmnet0) is removed... and when reconnecting (e.g. after WLAN is 
disabled) the costly_rmnet0 rule is reinserted to position 2, and droidwall is 
moved to position 3, and thus fails to filter 2G/3G data!
- reapplying the two lines above would help again, but this is not save enough!

WORKAROUNDS:
1) switching off data limitation and inserting a script rule doing the same 
feature (copy the existing rule)
2) moving the today rule at position nr. 1 of the OUTPUT chain to the top of 
the droidwall chain and inserting the droidwall rule instead... then the data 
limit rule can be inserted/removed at position 2 and both should work

next, I will test 2), I let you know about the result :-)

Since Jelly Bean (4.1.2 in my case), the $IPTABLES shell variable provides by 
Droidwall doesn't seem to be valid. Consequently, I've updated my script :
