NetGuard
NetGuard is a free Android app that lets you choose which apps and internet addresses can use your Wi-Fi or mobile data, without needing to root your phone. It is for everyday Android phone and tablet users who want to save data, battery, or privacy.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
