Aegis Firewall for Android
Take control of app internet access without rooting your phone. Aegis is a modern no root firewall with separate Wi-Fi and mobile controls, live connection activity, custom filters and useful game network insights.
A firewall no root users can understand
Aegis replaces one all-or-nothing internet switch with clear choices for each app and each network. Start with sensible defaults, then add detailed rules only when you need them.
Live activity
See allowed and blocked connection attempts while the firewall is active, with quick filters that make the log easier to inspect.
Flexible rules
Combine app decisions with global pre-filters and post-filters for domains, ports and connections that need consistent treatment.
No superuser access
No rooting, bootloader changes or system modification. Aegis works through Android's supported local VPN interface.
Mobile game insights
Track server region, latency and traffic for supported PUBG Mobile editions—including FLASH—and BGMI while keeping firewall controls close by.
Focused design
A calm, readable interface makes everyday protection easy while Advanced mode keeps deeper controls available.

No root firewall protection using Android's VPN service
Android normally does not let a regular app manage every other app's network traffic. Aegis solves that problem with a local VPN service. Connection requests pass through the firewall interface, where your rules decide what is allowed or blocked. This gives a noroot firewall meaningful control without changing protected system files.
The VPN icon in your status bar is expected. It means Android has granted Aegis the interface it needs to filter traffic. Because Android provides one active VPN slot, another VPN cannot normally run at the same time as Aegis.
Privacy note: “Local VPN” describes the filtering method; it is not a remote location-changing VPN. Allowed traffic still goes to the websites and services an app requests.
Designed for useful defaults
Choose what happens when a new app first connects: ask, allow or block. You can then refine individual apps and add global filters for repeated domain or port decisions. The order is shown inside the app, so advanced rules remain understandable.

More control than Android's basic data settings
Android's built-in settings can restrict background data, but that is different from making a decision for each connection. Aegis gives you a dedicated firewall view, remembers rules per app and records activity while protection is running.
Useful for privacy and data control
Block an app you do not expect to use the internet, ask before unfamiliar apps connect, or let a trusted app work only on Wi-Fi. These controls can reduce unwanted background traffic and help you notice which apps contact the network.
Useful for mobile gaming
Aegis includes network insights and default filtering for supported PUBG Mobile packages, including Global, FLASH, KR, Vietnam, Taiwan and BGMI. The firewall can help you inspect traffic and apply your own rules; it does not promise lower ping or replace a stable internet connection.
