In this modern era of the Internet, security and privacy issues are a huge concern. If your device is connected to the Internet, then all your device data is prone to attacks by malicious software. However, with the use of Firewall, you can restrict specific connection for an app and prevent your confidential data. Here’s How to add Firewall to your Android for Safe Browsing.
What is Firewall?
A Firewall is designed to protect your device from unauthorized access to and from any private network. A Firewall can be implemented either by a software or with the help of Hardware or both. It is a security mechanism by which you can block suspicious IP’s from accessing your system.
Why Use FireWall in Android?
Many apps use your Data connection, collect and send your confidential data anonymously. With the help of Firewall, you can block those apps or specific IP address from accessing the Internet or your device. In Windows, Mac and Linux Operating Systems, there are inbuilt Firewall services which adds protection to your device while browsing the Internet. In case of Android, we don’t have any such option. So, by using some apps you can easily set up Firewall services to your Android Device and be safe from Malicious Softwares and attacks. We are listing some Free apps, which you can install and use Firewall services without rooting your device.
