De1984 is a powerful Firewall and Package Manager for Android devices with multiple backend support for maximum flexibility and performance.

The name De1984 is inspired by George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, reflecting the app’s philosophy of resisting surveillance and reclaiming digital privacy. It symbolizes a reversal of the dystopian control described in the book, empowering users to take back control over their devices and data.

FIREWALL FEATURES

Multiple firewall capabilities: iptables (root/Shizuku), ConnectivityManager (Android 13+), and VPN fallback
Automatic firewall method selection based on device capabilities
Comprehensive iptables method for rooted devices provides kernel-level blocking with superior performance
ConnectivityManager for Android 13+ devices without root
VPN backend as fallback for maximum compatibility (no root required)
Block apps from accessing WiFi, Mobile Data, or Roaming independently
Global firewall policies: "Block All by Default" (allowlist) or "Allow All by Default" (blocklist)
Screen-off blocking to save battery and data
Real-time network state monitoring and automatic rule application

PACKAGE MANAGEMENT (with Shizuku or root)

Enable/disable system apps
Force stop running apps
Uninstall system and user apps
Works with Shizuku (no root required) or traditional root access
Filter packages by system/user apps, enabled/disabled state
Search functionality for quick package lookup

PRIVACY FIRST

Zero tracking or analytics
No telemetry
Local-only data storage
No proprietary libraries
No Google Play Services
100% open source (MIT License)
Buildable from source

REQUIREMENTS

Android 8.0 (API 26) or higher
For iptables firewall: Root access OR Shizuku in root mode
For ConnectivityManager firewall: Shizuku + Android 13+
For VPN firewall: VPN permission (no root required, works on all Android versions)
For package management: Shizuku or root access

PERMISSIONS

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Monitor network connectivity for automatic rule application
BIND_VPN_SERVICE: Create local VPN for VPN-based firewall backend

Late nights for brighter days. Created by Doru Moraru

WhatsNew:

Fixed UI freezing when opening work profile apps and scroll position resetting after firewall changes #61
Fixed Shizuku prompt spam on deny.
Fixed Work profile apps not showing with Shizuku.
Fixed persistence of VPN mode when user specifically selected it and not return to AUTO
Fixed other VPN apps being stopped when opening De1984 #69

Download Metadata Source Issues

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
