ShizuWall is a lightweight Android firewall app that controls per-app network access without using a VPN tunnel. It works on Android 11+ by leveraging Shizuku, a local ADB daemon, or root to toggle Android's connectivity controls, with a privacy-first, offline-only design.

Use cases

  • block an app from using mobile data or wifi without a vpn
  • firewall apps on android without vpn tunnel
  • control per-app network access using shizuku
  • offline firewall app with no telemetry
  • automate app network blocking with adb broadcast commands
  • toggle firewall quickly from quick settings or a widget

When to choose

  • you want per-app network blocking on Android 11+ without the battery and routing overhead of a VPN-based firewall
  • you already use Shizuku, root, or wireless debugging and want a privacy-first, offline firewall
  • you need automation hooks (adb broadcasts, widgets, quick settings) to toggle app networking

When to avoid

  • your device is below Android 11 or you cannot grant Shizuku/ADB/root privileges
  • you need fine-grained rules like per-domain or per-IP filtering, which VPN firewalls provide
  • you want packet-level inspection or traffic logging
