| Feb 9, 2017 at 9:42 | comment | added | Alex | @MateuszKonieczny I would love to see such feature too (shutdown app by password), but it is what it is right now | |
| Feb 8, 2017 at 9:35 | comment | added | reducing activity | One additional problem - as soon as app is stopped the filtering is stopped. As result it is much easier to disable than Leechblock. | |

| Feb 5, 2017 at 5:11 | comment | added | reducing activity | @blownie55 From what I see both NoRoot and Mobiwall claim to work in exactly the same way. Iff there is some research testing whatever either of apps lies and steal the data it would be interesting, but from what I see in both cases users must simply trust the app. | |

Added one more solution

| Feb 4, 2017 at 20:30 | comment | added | Alex | @blownie55 you are wrong about NORoot Firewall. It create VPN to itself, to the localhost (which is means it's on you own devices) that's why it don't need rooting. It doesn't use external VPN services. Second, I never have a problem neither with 4G or LTE and in major cities I easily get 24Mbps even when NoRoot FW is working. Either the article was written by a guy who barely understand IT stuff (and I believe it is a case, because I see he is master of none if he wrote articles about IT and next day about fitness) or apps was updated after his review. Did you tried it ? | |
| Feb 4, 2017 at 16:34 | comment | added | ARau | Beware: NoRoot is able to do it without rooting is because it creates a VPN to their service so be aware of the implications there. It also does not support LTE yet because lack of IPv6 support. Looks to be not updated since 2014. See here for a review: google.com/amp/lifehacker.com/… | |

| Feb 4, 2017 at 12:51 | comment | added | reducing activity | Thanks! It is not perfectly matching what I want (I will be unable to just import my text file of distracting domains, I will need to find IPs and hope that they will not change/add/rotate new IPs) - but on the other hand it solves problems that I was unaware of. | |
