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. The application does not request android.permission.INTERNET in its manifest. While Shizuku itself has shell privileges (which include network access), ShizuWall is designed to operate locally and does not initiate any network connections.
Firewall Implementation
(what the app runs via Shizuku)
#
Enable firewall framework
cmd connectivity set-chain3-enabled
true
#
Block specific app
cmd connectivity set-package-networking-enabled
false
<
package.name
>
#
Unblock specific app
cmd connectivity set-package-networking-enabled
true
<
package.name
>
#
Disable firewall framework
cmd connectivity set-chain3-enabled
false
Control via broadcast (adb / automation)
ShizuWall supports a simple broadcast interface so you can enable/disable the firewall from adb or automation tools.
- Action: com.arslan.shizuwall.ACTION_FIREWALL_CONTROL - Extras: - com.arslan.shizuwall.EXTRA_FIREWALL_ENABLED (boolean) —
true
= enable,
false
= disable - com.arslan.shizuwall.EXTRA_PACKAGES_CSV (string, optional) — comma-separated package list to operate on. If omitted the app falls back to the saved
"
selected apps
"
set. Examples: - Enable firewall
for
selected apps: adb shell am broadcast -a com.arslan.shizuwall.ACTION_FIREWALL_CONTROL --ez com.arslan.shizuwall.EXTRA_FIREWALL_ENABLED
true
-p com.arslan.shizuwall - Disable firewall
for
selected apps adb shell am broadcast -a com.arslan.shizuwall.ACTION_FIREWALL_CONTROL --ez com.arslan.shizuwall.EXTRA_FIREWALL_ENABLED

for
specific packages (CSV): adb shell am broadcast -a com.arslan.shizuwall.ACTION_FIREWALL_CONTROL --ez com.arslan.shizuwall.EXTRA_FIREWALL_ENABLED
true
--es com.arslan.shizuwall.EXTRA_PACKAGES_CSV
"
com.example.app1,com.example.app2

-p com.arslan.shizuwall - Disable firewall
for

false
--es com.arslan.shizuwall.EXTRA_PACKAGES_CSV
"
com.example.app1,com.example.app2
"
-p com.arslan.shizuwall
Notes for those want to use broadcasts:
The receiver is exported to allow adb and automation; prefer targeting the app explicitly with -p com.arslan.shizuwall to avoid accidental external broadcasts.
Shizuku must be running and the app must have Shizuku permission for these broadcasts to succeed.
The receiver applies the same commands as the UI (cmd connectivity ...). Use with care.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This application requires Shizuku to function. The developer is not responsible for any issues arising from:
Shizuku usage or configuration
Network blocking affecting system functionality
Data loss or service disruption
Any negative consequences mentioned in the onboarding process
Use at your own discretion and ensure you understand which apps you're blocking.
