The VpnService is used only to provide the app blocking and firewall functionality.<br>Choose the apps you want to restrict, start protection, and Net Blocker uses Android’s local VPN technology to block their network traffic directly on your device.<br><br>Key features:<br><br>• Block internet access for selected apps<br>• Local VPN based protection<br>• No remote VPN server required for blocking<br>• Works with Wi Fi and mobile data<br>• View installed applications and choose which ones to restrict<br>• Restore protection after device reboot<br>• Local activity history<br>• Light, Dark, and Auto appearance modes<br>• Optional protection notifications<br>• Privacy focused local storage<br>• Simple and clean interface<br><br>Net Blocker’s core protection works locally on your device. Network traffic blocked by Net Blocker is discarded locally rather than being forwarded through a remote VPN server.<br><br>Your selected applications, settings, activity history, onboarding state, and other core app preferences are stored locally on your device.<br><br>Net Blocker uses Android’s VPN functionality to provide app level network control. Because Android allows only one active VPN connection at a time, Net Blocker may not be usable simultaneously with another VPN application.<br><br>Take control of app connectivity with a simple, local first internet blocking tool.
