Heyhey, I have bought the donation version as this app looks like a lot of fun.

However when I attach to a computer on the network it slooooowwwssss the computer right down and doesn't always tell me what it has been surfing.

when i kill the computer connection that works fine though.

The only problem I face is the 'attach' slows it down so much it often can't even load any webpages.


Any support?

Let me help you with your problem.
This app cannot and is not helping your housemate spy on you. He or she can block you from using the WiFi connection even if it shows you connected. Any sort or privacy invasion that may or may not be being done, is being done via another means. Again, this app will not help invade to your files, or devices.

Can't seem to get it working with my Note 3[Rooted Stock Rom 4.4.2]. I mean there are no errors and all but I can't see any devices when I scan. I made sure there were at least 4 devices with me (a Samsung, Nexus, Lumia and PC) but still nothing. Please help as I have used this flawlessly with my other devices.

I think this app isn't compatible on KK roms? This app worked nearly perfect when i was on 4.2.2 but it stopped working properly now that i'm on 4.4.2. (HTC One)

Because basically you might be saying without root it is able to access a super user specification with out having actual root........ or having something like it the prohibit s certain bypasses that allow certain mods thatv a re very advantages. ...........

Yes you are wrong. I don't know how else I can put this. This app blocks YOUR CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET. That is all. There is no way he is GETTING INFO from you with this app. The app ONLY BLOCKS YOUR INTERNET, it DOES NOT send him any info of what webpage you view. If the person is doing any sort of spying or recon, IT IS BY OTHER MEANS AND LIKELY NOTHING TO DO WITH PHONES. Laymen, sigh...

You are incorrect. You are able to see the sites being browsed with this application. I have the pro version, and can confirm that the functionality is there.

This application does not run on non-rooted devices, so it is safe to assume that he is rooted.

This is working on kitkat roms too. Or at least for my SGS2 running KK.

Did someone force you to buy this? It is up to everyones own accord to buy this or not. Personally I decided to buy this, and I have no regrets.

He can see the address, but not the site itself.

No you're right no one forced me to buy this, i didn't and don't plan on it. I was just saying it's an expensive app especially since it's still in beta and half works on some devices. It might be worth 6 dollars finished but I don't feel apps in beta should be sold for such high price.

Still in beta? You have made a mistake on that, as this is the full version. And this app has far better price/function ratio than those I am rich apps in play store :p

    Sounds interesting. I'm curious, from a technical side what method does it use to accomplish this, and how long does it keep them off for?

    Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

    I tried it out. Showed all the computers on my network and enabling it blocked the Internet on my computer. I was still connected to the wifi but the Internet didn't work. My brother was playing a game in the basement and when I enabled his I heard him swearing from down there. Pretty cool app.

    So... a small update. I am probably going to work on a new version with my friend after new year. How soon or if it will be available is still not known. We're not even sure we want to release it so basically I just wanted to say that yes I hear you, no I don't know how it will end.
    19
    There might be other problems... We're starting work on totally new release :) so don't want to waste time on this old code.

    PRO version now works kind-of with android 5.0
    Cheers!
