Closed alvinrxg closed 10 years ago

alvinrxg commented 10 years ago

Hi all, just installed AdBlock Plus to disable some ads after set the proxy of adblock plus localhost:2020 every block app are now allowed to access the internet...it seems the android firewall is not working now.

  1. without proxy of AdBlock Plus, android firewall works fine.
  2. with the proxy of AdBlock Plus, every app access the internet through the proxy(i think).

eh well, i need to learn the script from droidwall

i hope you could add the situation when people use proxy :)

I don't have WiFi right now to confirm but judging by what they say on their FAQ, when you're using the proxy all data is routed through the ABP app which is the issue. I'm willing to bet if you blocked ABP in the firewall nothing would get out. ;)

May I ask why you're using the proxy on a rooted device? The proxy isn't needed if you're rooted and ABP admits having root is desired due to the ability to fully filter all connections. I just confirmed this with AF and ABP on my Galaxy S 3. Ads are blocked and no apps can access the Internet.

@skullone aha, thx for your hint! I just didn't know why dose adp need the root permission...and now I closed the proxy and let abp directly block ads with root permission. And now both adp and AF are now work fine. Thank you :-)
