## Description

"Firewall" is an Android app that allows users to block or allow apps from accessing the Internet without root access. Utilizing the Android VpnService, it filters network traffic on-device, enabling granular control over which applications can use Wi-Fi or mobile data. This enhances security and privacy by preventing unwanted app access to the Internet, thus protecting your Android device from potential threats.
