gfw的帮凶-NetGuard

A simple way to block access to the internet per application

NetGuard provides simple and advanced ways to block access to the internet - no root required. Applications and addresses can individually be allowed or denied access to your Wi-Fi and/or mobile connection.

Compatibility

The only way to build a no-root firewall on Android is to use the Android VPN service. Android doesn't allow chaining of VPN services, so you cannot use NetGuard together with other VPN based applications. See also this FAQ.
NetGuard can be used on rooted devices too and even offers more features than most root firewalls.
Some Android versions, expecially not updated Samsung Android versions, have a buggy VPN implementation, which results in Android refusing to start the VPN service in certain circumstances, like when there is no internet conncectivity yet (when starting up your device) or when incorrectly requiring manual approval of the VPN service again (when starting up your device). Unfortunately these Android bugs cannot be worked around by NetGuard.
Filtering mode cannot be used on CopperheadOS.
NetGuard will not work or crash when the package com.android.vpndialogs has been removed or otherwise is unavailable. Removing this package is possible with root permissions only.
NetGuard is supported for phones and tablets only, so not for other device types like on a television or in a car.
Wi-Fi or IP calling will not work if your provider uses IPsec to encrypt your phone calls, SMS messages and/or MMS messages, unless there was made an exception in NetGuard for your provider (currently for T-Mobile and Verizon). I am happy to add exceptions for other providers, but I need the MCC codes, MNC codes and IP address ranges your provider is using. As an alternative you can enable the option 'Disable on call', which is available since version 2.113.

Building
Building is simple, if you install the right tools:
The native code is built as part of the Android Studio project.
It is expected that you can solve build problems yourself, so there is no support on building. If you cannot build yourself, there are prebuilt versions of NetGuard available here.
