App Description
ShizuWall
A lightweight, privacy focused Android firewall application that blocks network connections for selected apps
without requiring root access or VPN
. ShizuWall leverages Shizuku to provide powerful network control capabilities. Requires Android 11 (API 30) or higher.
Download from releases
Why ShizuWall is Different
Shizuku-Only Approach
: Most Android firewalls require either Root access or a VPN service. ShizuWall uses
only Shizuku
, providing native system-level control without the common VPN drawbacks.
Per-app System Networking Control
: Uses Android's
connectivity
service (chain-3) via Shizuku to enable/disable networking on a per-app basis — no packet interception, no VPN tunnel.
Privacy-first Design
: The app is offline-first and does not phone home. There is no analytics, no tracking and no telemetry.
Notes
Firewall rules are applied using platform commands and are automatically cleared on device reboot (Android security limitation).
The app detects reboots using a boot-relative timestamp and automatically clears stale saved state so you won't be left with stale "enabled" flags after reboot.
By default only user-installed apps are shown. Use the overflow menu (three dots, top-right) to "Show system apps" if you need to include system apps for selection.
If anything goes wrong, rebooting the device will revert every change made by ShizuWall.
The app persists minimal preferences locally (selected apps, enabled flag) and stores a small boot-relative timestamp in device-protected storage so the app can detect reboots safely without exposing data.
No network calls from the app itself — it does not send any data to external services and has no internet access.
Firewall Implementation
