Suggestion for feature to be added to the app.

Hi, thanks for this app. I use this along with the Spin Browser to prevent my kids from accessing inappropriate sites, or using another browser to do so. I had a suggestion, if it's possible to implement. I've noticed that after blocking internet access for a downloaded app, if that app is uninstalled and then reinstalled, the internet block is gone, and the app is able to access the internet again. It would be very convenient if the internet access block for an app could be saved, so even if it's uninstalled and reinstalled, it wouldn't be able to access the internet. Thanks again for the app, and I hope this feature can be implemented soon. :)

This will not be added because most people rely on the opposite.

You might want to consider setting the default such that it will always block internet access by default. That way, if a new app is installed it won't be able to acess internet,

Hi,
Is there a reason why only the latest release (aka 2.217 beta) is available as apk on github while older versions (even the latests "stabel") is only available as source code?

I know this might be a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway-
I've got NetGuard 2.118 installed on my unrooted LG 7-inch tablet with Android v5.0.2. 2.118 is the last version for pre- v5.1

I now have a new unrooted 12-inch tablet with Marshmallow v6 installed & I put NetGuard 2.118 on it. Seems fine, but it's less than a day. What is the advantage of installing the latest stable NetGuard 2.217 on my Marshmallow 12-inch tablet?

I'm only asking because whenever possible I like to have the same version of apps across different devices, as it makes device management simpler. Thanks!

    NetGuard is currently in alpha testing phase.
    Please report any problems you encounter.

    It would be nice if someone could design an appropriate icon.
