Android firewall without VPN.
Privacy-first, local-only, powered by Shizuku / local ADB daemon / Root.
- No VPN: avoids packet interception and persistent VPN tunnel side effects.
- Per-app network control: toggles app networking through Android's
connectivitychain-3 controls. - Privacy-first by design: offline-first, no analytics, no telemetry, no tracking.
- Automation ready: supports
adb broadcastcommands for scripts and task automation. - Control Methods: ShizuWall provides three convenient ways (Quick Settings Toggle, App Widget, Floating Firewall Button) to control the firewall.
- Android 11 (API 30) or higher
- One control backend: Shizuku, local ADB daemon or root access
ShizuWall supports three methods to execute firewall commands:
| Method | Description | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Shizuku | Secure API that communicates with system services. Requires Shizuku app. Forks are supported. | Install and setup Shizuku app, grant permissions |
| Root | Direct root access. | Root your device using standard methods |
| LibADB (LADB) | Uses the built-in "Wireless Debugging" feature of your phone to act like a computer connected via USB. This allows the app to perform advanced system changes without needing a computer, root or extra apps like Shizuku. | Enable wireless debugging and pair in Developer Options (Guide is in app) |
ShizuWall uses Android's Chain 3 (connectivity chain) to control per-app networking. These are the platform commands executed through Shizuku or the local daemon:
