Manage Android applications’ access to the Internet.
Before you download
The project APK does not unlock paid features. Network rules can affect synchronization and notifications, so check the outcome after changes.
Get started
Try a rule you understand, then check its effect on Wi-Fi and mobile data before extending it to other apps.
Keep your data when updating
Note important rules and keep an export if available. Preserve a way to read instructions if you restrict your browser’s network access.
Use the original distribution channel where possible. Compare the package and edition before replacing an installation. A different signature or an older version can prevent an update; do not uninstall or clear data as the first troubleshooting step.
If installation or playback does not work
If notifications or sync stop, check that app’s rules and the project’s help. Another application using a VPN connection can conflict with firewall operation.
Check the Android requirements and architecture shown above. Open the downloaded APK on your own Android device, read its notices and keep system protections enabled. Review any temporary browser installation permission afterward.
NetGuard FAQs
Why did an app stop synchronizing?
Check its rules and network type. Reinstalling or deleting its data should not be the first step.
Does this APK include all Pro features?
No paid-feature unlock is promised. Check the project’s options and the terms of the edition you install.
How do I choose the correct APK?
Check the minimum Android version and the architecture supported by the installed operating system. ARM64 means arm64-v8a; ARM32 means armeabi-v7a. A 64-bit chip does not prove that the installed system supports ARM64. Use the file picker, or the publisher’s store if available.
Can I update an installation from another source?
Check its package, edition and source first. A different signing key can prevent an update. Back up important data and consult the publisher before switching channels; do not uninstall or erase data as the first troubleshooting step.
