I just purchased and installed “Android Firewall Elite” and now realize it is far more complex to activate than I anticipated. In addition to notifying me that it is disabled because it does not have “root access”, I have no idea what rules to activate, or which boxes to check on the “Mode” page (i.e. should all apps be checked on white list...and what about “kernel”, “root” and “apps” vs. WiFi, Data, and VPN??? Admittedly, I have no clue which boxes to check! Far too much knowledge required for a paid app. I found it difficult to access any assistance. Could you please provide some guidance? I think it would be advisable to have the app be more intuitive for neophytes like me, or else to provide warnings that it requires more advanced knowledge to appropriately activate. I also have Hotspot Shield (VPN Security) installed, which did not require anything beyond basic knowledge to activate. Is the “no root access” related to VPN app? Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide.
