Re:NetGuard – rootless Android outbound per-app OSS firewall... by prophesi on Thursday October 24, 2024 @12:49PM (#41937273)
I think the main gripe is Google's lack of API to access a firewall. It would make sense for the kernel to provide that API and leave the UI to user space apps.

Edit: and to clarify, you can have a user space app on Android to configure a firewall but they will either require root or a VPN-based solution like NetGuard.
