Is it possible to block internet access completely for certain apps?

[terrytw]

I want to know if there is any way to achieve this now.

Someone mentioned xprivacy, but xprivacy is discontinued now...

I know if I use some form of VPN as firewall (net guard, adguard), it can be achieved, but VPNs have downtime, like when you change setting they will restart. I want to make sure if I block some app, it does not have any chance of accessing internet.

EDIT: I have found the solution, afwall+

try adguard
btw, xprivacy has been continued

Won't restricting both WiFi and mobile data data permissions in app info do the trick

Netguard - No Root app is very reliable, fast and effective.

Thanks for the suggestion, some OS does not have these options. All I have is a "limit mobile data in the background" option.

Now how interesting. Can you please tell me where I can find update on xprivacy?

then try adguard
xprivacy was abandonded many yrs ago so I thought you were talking about xprivacylua.

adguard can do firewall control perfectly. at least it works very well on my phone.

I already have adguard, problem is that if I change any setting, adguard will restart, and there are a few seconds the block is not working. And, what if I need to use another VPN like wireguard from time to time?
