whisper monitor : android firewall

[William Gaatjes]

Hello. I have an android phone and i am very happy with it. It works great.

I recently learned that there is a firewall application available.
However, i have not found it on app market.

Does anybody have some experience with it ?
It is called : whisper monitor

I have no root access to my phone at the moment. But any advice about a quality firewall would be something i would be very happy with.

Thank you in advance.

I've been using droidwall. I don't know whether it's the "best" or if anyone has any complaints about it. It's worked fine for me, though you do need root.

wat.

Why do you need a firewall on your phone?

I am using LBE Privacy Guard on my phone. It's not a firewall but it probably does more what you want.

If allows you to change the permissions that apps are allowed. So if you run a dodgy game you don't have to worry about it phoning home with your phone number or txt messaging china.
