Net Blocker is a lightweight and secure tool that allows you to block selected apps from accessing the internet all without requiring root access. Whether you want to cut down on background data usage, stop apps from displaying unnecessary ads, or improve your privacy, Net Blocker gives you full control with just a few taps.
Why You May Need Net Blocker
Many apps and games access the internet in the background even after you’ve closed them. Some do this to push ads, while others may collect personal information without your knowledge. Net Blocker helps you manage this by restricting access and ensuring only the apps you trust can connect online.
Key Features
- Block Internet Access – Restrict apps from using mobile data or Wi-Fi.
- No Root Required – Works on any Android device without system modifications.
- Safe & Secure – No dangerous permissions like contacts, location, or storage.
- Easy to Use – Simple setup with a clean interface.
- Lightweight – Optimized for smooth performance on Android 5.1 and above.
How It Works
Net Blocker creates a secure, local VPN interface to filter internet traffic. This means you don’t need to worry about your data being sent to remote servers everything stays on your device.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Since it relies on Android’s VPN framework, you cannot use Net Blocker alongside another VPN app.
- Battery consumption may increase slightly when active.
- Some ads may still appear from cached data until you clear the cache.
- Messaging apps like WhatsApp or Skype may still work through Google Play Services, so you may need to block that service as well if you want full restriction.
- Samsung’s Dual Messenger feature is not supported due to system limitations.
