About this app

Net Blocker allows you to block specific apps from accessing the Internet without root requirement.

PLEASE read the descriptions below carefully before using.

As you known, there are apps and games which may:
• Access the Internet only to display ads or steal your personal data
• Continue to access the Internet in the background services even when you exited
Therefore, you should consider to block apps from accessing the Internet to help:
★ Reduce your data usage
★ Increase your privacy

Features:
★ Safe and easy to use
★ No root required
★ No dangerous permissions
★ Support Android 5.1 and up

PLEASE note that:
• This app only sets up a local VPN interface to be able to block the network traffic of apps without root. And it does not request the dangerous permissions such as Location, Contacts, SMS, Storage,... So, you can trust that it does not connect to a remote server to steal your privacy data. Please feel safe to use!

• Because this app is based on VPN framework of Android OS, so if turned it on you cannot use another VPN app at the same time and it may drain the battery.

• Even when apps and games are blocked from accessing the Internet, they can still display ads loaded from cache memory. So, you also need to clear their cache to be able to hide ads.

• Some IM apps (Instant Messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Skype) may use Google Play services to receive the incoming messages if the app has no network. So you may also need to block "Google Play services" to block receiving messages for IM apps.

• Battery Optimization feature of Android OS may automatically stop VPN apps in the sleep mode to save battery. So you may need to disable the battery optimization for Net Blocker to keep it working normally.

• This app can't block Dual Messenger apps because Dual Messenger is a feature of Samsung devices only and it does not support VPN fully.

FAQ:
• Why can't I press "OK" button of the dialog?
This problem may be caused by using an app that can overlay other apps, such as blue light filter apps. Those apps may overlay the VPN dialog, so that cannot press "OK" button. This is a bug of Android OS which needs to be fixed by Google via an OS update. So if your device hasn't fixed yet, you may need to turn off the light filter apps and try again.

Ratings and reviews

Very good program, I have spent a lot of time looking for similar software. When I am at work, I want to ban any notifications from IM (WhatsApp/Line.......). I suggest adding the Group function to categorize apps with similar purposes so that you can quickly find the need to close/enable Network app. Currently I can only find frequently used apps through "show recent apps", I think the addition of the Group function will be more perfect. Thanks for your work!

Gives you control! Lets you pick and choose which apps have access to your internet connection, saving lots of data. Keeps annoying apps that try to run in the background, from accessing the internet without your permission, and slowing down your smartphone. Purchased!

This is the best! I hope you can also include website blocking :) 5/6/21 The 2024 update includes data limit per app for free! This is a helpful feature to control your data plan like I do. If you can, try paid features or share this app with your friends. Whether you avail paid features like I did or not, you can opt for watching ads. Honestly, the usefulness of this app is beyond 5 stars
