## Description

**InternetGuard No Root Firewall** is a powerful tool that lets you control your mobile device's internet connections without needing root access. Using a local VPN service, it blocks or allows internet traffic for apps individually, helping you enhance privacy, reduce data usage, and save battery life.

Key features include detailed traffic logs with exportable PCAP files, customizable per-app internet address blocking, enhanced notifications for new app access, and a real-time network speed graph. It supports Android 5.0+, IPv4/IPv6 traffic, and even tethering. Privacy is prioritized as the VPN service doesn't collect user data. Optional features allow for screen-on allowances, roaming blocks, selective system app control, and detailed usage records. Take full control of your mobile internet with InternetGuard's easy-to-use, root-free firewall solution.
