Prevent Individual Connections Per Application? #72

Closed PartisanEntity closed 10 years ago

PartisanEntity commented 10 years ago

Sorry if I misunderstood the way Android Firewall is meant to work.

Expected Behavior: In addition to allowing full access per applications, also be able to allow/deny individual connections per app. For example allow access for app XYZ but deny it from being able to connect to ad server ABC.

I cannot find this functionality in Android Firewall.

That is not how AF works. It's an all or nothing deal for blocking data.

If you want to block just a specific ad server you would need to create a custom rule.
