FAQ
Q: Is using a VPN-based firewall better than using ShizuWall?
A: While VPN-based firewalls are effective, they often consume more battery and can introduce latency because all your internet traffic must be routed through a local tunnel. ShizuWall is generally more efficient because it uses Android’s native system rules, meaning your traffic flows directly as intended without the overhead of a virtual network interface.
Q: Will ShizuWall drain my battery while it stays active in the background?
A: Not at all. Because ShizuWall interacts directly with the system-level firewall, it does not need to intercept or analyze packets in real-time. Once you have set your rules, the system handles the enforcement, ensuring that the application remains extremely lightweight and battery-friendly.
Q: What should I do if my network rules disappear after a device restart?
A: This is a standard behavior of the Android security framework, which clears temporary firewall modifications upon reboot. To fix this, you can enable the auto-start feature within the Shizuku app or configure a Tasker intent to automatically re-apply your specific firewall preferences as soon as your device finishes booting.
