EASY WAY TO LIMIT DATA CONSUMPTION ON YOUR ANDROID PHONE

Whether you're out to find a way
to limit data usage or just want
complete control over your
device's data connection (or
both!), then DroidWall is the
perfect app for you.
With different Nigerian Networks
doing away with unlimited data
plans, more people have to worry
about hitting data caps. If you're
still one of the lucky few with
unlimited data
and are merely looking for more
control, this app could still be the
answer.

This app is for rooted users
only.

DroidWall is a front-end
application that utilizes iptables to
effectively block or allow data
connection access for selected
applications. This firewall is
simple, user-friendly, and has
many features that can be put to
use in a number of ways.
As a user, you can choose between
two different modes:
White List - In which selected
applications will be allowed data
network access.

Black List - In which selected
applications will be denied data
network access.
In addition to the mode options,
you can also select what
connection type you want to block
or allow, be it Wi-Fi or the one
provided by your Service Provider.
So if you want to grant
only Wi-Fi access to apps that
consume large amounts of
data,you can
After the settings have been
tweaked to your liking, you have
the option to apply rules, which
will save the settings and
automatically restore them when
you restart your device. Under
"More," there are also options to
enable logs, set a password for
DroidWall, and, if you're a more
advanced user, set custom
scripts. If you know a thing or two
about iptables, you can use those
custom scripts to block access to
certain ip addresses,
set rules involving HTTP, HTTPS,
SSH, and much more.
Final Thoughts

What's so wonderful about
DroidWall is not only its
simplicity, but usefulness. This
firewall can be used to limit data
usage and stay far, far away from
those pesky data caps.
Alternatively, you can cut off
network access to
untrustworthy apps and even
remove ads (Editor's Note: We
love and support the development
community, so we strongly advise
against blocking
ads).
An app this useful has to be
expensive, right? Wrong. It's
free
and you can check it out for
yourself on Google Playstore or DOWNLOAD HERE
