Access to data transmission over Wi-Fi

Use this toggle button to block or allow access to data transmission over Wi-Fi for this app. By default, the access is allowed. The access indicator is displayed in the app row on the Traffic screen (green indicates that the access is allowed, gray means blocked).

Block all connections not allowed by the rules

To block all connections for an app by default, use the Block all connections not allowed by the rules toggle button. With no allowing rules set, the app will be unable to initiate any connections.

An allowing rule for port 53 is automatically added when enabling the Block all connections not allowed by the rules setting for this app. This rule (set for the DNS, UDP, or ALL protocols) is mandatory for the functioning of allowing rules with domain names.

warning_green

To ensure that this setting works as intended in the presence of allowing rules with domain names, disable the use of a private DNS server in your device settings.

Do not control the app

warning_green

The setting is not available for some system apps.

Dr.Web Firewall is based on the VPN for Android technology. VPN prevents apps from functioning if they use a technology which is incompatible with VPN, e.g. Wi-Fi Direct. This can result in inability to connect your device to other devices. Disabling Firewall completely is not recommended in this case. Instead, disable Dr.Web Firewall control for the app (or app group). To do so, use the Do not control the app toggle button.

It is recommended to disable Dr.Web Firewall control only for your trusted apps.

When the option is enabled, Dr.Web Firewall does not control network connections of the app even if you customize traffic settings for it in the Dr.Web Firewall settings. The app traffic is not monitored.
