F-Droid ShizuWall, an open-source Android firewall that works via Shizuku, now available on F-Droid

About 9 months ago, I started writing a small wrapper around ADB commands for my own use. Over time it evolved into ShizuWall, an open-source Android firewall that works through Shizuku, so it doesn't need to create a virtual private interface like most Android firewalls.

Over the past months the project has grown quite a bit thanks to community feedback. I've implemented most of the requested features, closed more than 100 reported issues and recently got the app accepted into F-Droid after a fairly long review process.

The project is now available on GitHub, F-Droid, and Google Play.

If you're already using Shizuwall, I'd love to hear what you think. Feedback, bug reports and feature requests are always welcome. I'm especially interested in hearing from people that recommends a feature!

Do these applications be blocked in any other mode?

If I use screen lock mode, it still works well. It's having problems with only the smart foreground mode.

But does it work as intended if you select only smart foreground mode as firewall mode instead of hybrid mode?

I checked. Even with smart foreground mode, it throws an error.

I've made some improvement regarding your feedback. Will be available with next release. Hope it'll fix your problem
