About this app

Net Blocker gives you simple control over which apps can access the internet on your Android device.
Choose the apps you want to restrict, start protection, and Net Blocker uses Android's VpnService to create an on device firewall that blocks network access for the selected apps.
Net Blocker does not provide a general VPN service or route your traffic through a remote VPN server. The VpnService is used only to provide the app blocking and firewall functionality.
Choose the apps you want to restrict, start protection, and Net Blocker uses Android’s local VPN technology to block their network traffic directly on your device.

Key features:

• Block internet access for selected apps
• Local VPN based protection
• No remote VPN server required for blocking
• Works with Wi Fi and mobile data
• View installed applications and choose which ones to restrict
• Restore protection after device reboot
• Local activity history
• Light, Dark, and Auto appearance modes
• Optional protection notifications
• Privacy focused local storage
• Simple and clean interface

Net Blocker’s core protection works locally on your device. Network traffic blocked by Net Blocker is discarded locally rather than being forwarded through a remote VPN server.

Your selected applications, settings, activity history, onboarding state, and other core app preferences are stored locally on your device.

Net Blocker uses Android’s VPN functionality to provide app level network control. Because Android allows only one active VPN connection at a time, Net Blocker may not be usable simultaneously with another VPN application.

Take control of app connectivity with a simple, local first internet blocking tool.
