The story of Fiwalld
Thank you for using Fiwalld. If you read this blog, it means that you care about the security and privacy protection of mobile phones as much as I do. The idea of developing Fiwalld came from my own desire to have an Android firewall software that meets my own needs, and I happened to have a relatively long period of free time to do this in 2021.
Thanks List
With the feedback and help of many users, Fiwalld has become more and more perfect. Here is a partial list of people I would like to thank.

Fiwalld with Google Play
Fiwalld adopts a relatively radical strategy in functional design, perhaps because of this strategy it has been removed from Google Play three times. In order to be able to come back online, I had to adopt some compromise solutions, such as not filtering all Google-related applications and services by default(users can still add them manually). Google is also strict about the use of the VpnService feature on Android. Please check the following link: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/12564964?hl=en
All in all, I will try my best to comply with Google policies, but I don’t know if Fiwalld will be removed from Google Play again in the future. You can also stay informed at https://www.fiwalld.com.

You can also email me with your feature requests，like many other Fiwalld users did. Since I basically develop Fiwalld in my spare time, new features may not be updated so quickly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Donate
If you want to encourage my work and make me feel more fulfilled while developing, you can donate. Please leave your email address when donating, when Fiwalld has a professional version in the future, it will be easier for me to repay you.
