AFWall+ (Donate) is a premium, donation-based version of a powerful Android firewall that allows you to professionally control the internet access and network permissions of all applications installed on your rooted device. Built as a graphical interface to the Linux iptables firewall, AFWall+ lets you decide which applications can connect to the internet using mobile data, Wi-Fi, VPN, LAN, tethering or roaming, preventing unwanted connections and protecting your privacy and data usage.
The Donate version includes advanced import/export tools and detailed log statistics, as well as leading support for future improvements – thanks to our users who support continuous development. This version is suitable for tech enthusiasts, developers and privacy-conscious users who want a complete view of network traffic, detailed rules for each app, customizable profiles and automation options. By purchasing AFWall+ (Donate), you support the open source project and help unlock additional features that extend the capabilities of the firewall.
GROUND-LEVEL FIREWALL & NETWORK RULES
AFWall+ (Donate) provides a much more robust root-level firewall interface than the default Android network management, allowing you to create detailed permission rules for each app on your device. It uses the Linux-based iptables system, the same firewall framework used in professional server and network environments, so the firewall intercepts all network requests and can allow or block them according to the policies you configure. This allows you to protect sensitive data, reduce background bandwidth, reduce battery consumption from heavy apps, and stop apps from connecting to your home without your permission.
For advanced users, AFWall+ supports multiple network states (Wi-Fi, mobile data, VPN, tethering, roaming, LAN, Tor, etc.) independently, so you can deploy different rules depending on how your device is connected. The Donate version enhances this control by offering the ability to import/export rules with configuration and log statistics/history monitoring, providing a deeper understanding and easier management of your firewall settings.
IMPROVED LOG, IMPORT/EXPORT AND STATISTICS
AFWall+ (Donate) enhances the free version by introducing enhanced logging, statistics, and rule management tools, enabling you to better understand how your devices connect to the Internet and how applications behave over time. The Log Viewer shows you exactly which connections were blocked or allowed, along with timestamps and destinations, so you can audit suspicious activity or monitor bandwidth usage.
With the Donate version’s import/export features, you can save your entire rule set and configuration to external storage and reuse it after reconfiguring your devices or systems, saving a lot of time for experienced users and testers. These tools elevate the firewall from a simple allow/deny toggle switch to a full-fledged network auditing platform suitable for developers, security researchers, and privacy advocates who want data-driven monitoring of Android network behavior.
POWERFUL USER EXPERIENCE AND AUTOMATION
Powerful yet built with ease of use in mind, AFWall+ (Donate) offers a clean, material interface that makes it easy to configure complex firewall settings – even for advanced users. With tools like app search, filtering, and sorting, you can quickly find specific permissions and create rule sets without confusion. The firewall supports automation via Tasker or Locale integration, allowing you to switch profiles or configure network rules based on triggers such as Wi-Fi networks, location, charging status, and time of day.
These features make AFWall+ (Donate) much more than a static firewall – it is a dynamic network management system that adapts to your daily tasks and needs. By purchasing the Donate version, you help support the future development and feature growth of this open source project, ensuring better stability and continuous improvements over time.
