I have a rooted Galaxy S2, and I want to block access for all apps whose primary function does not require network connectivity. I am using DroidWall and LBE Privacy Guard (both require root) to control application behavior.

Droidwall is an excellent firewall, but it doesn't provide a snapshot of currently active network connections. Is there an app that can do so, on a per app basis?

Update : Just realized I can simplify things by just saying I want for Android what I can achieve using netstat -b on Windows, but properly presented!

I have already seen a few - but they just wrap a commandline interface - as though they're calling netstat locally and then just piping output.

    I see a bunch of apps that come back on the Market with a search for "netstat". What have you already tried? Why didn't they work for you? – ale Dec 09 '11 at 13:57

Opensource Network Log (Play) app does exactly that. The features are:

  • real time log display
  • hostname resolving
  • per app view
  • filters based on app name, hostname, port

It needs root and busybox.

  • Thanks, I'm on a HTC One X now, but haven't rooted it yet.. Will give it a try. – Rex May 19 '12 at 05:11
  • There are other apps doing similar without root, e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secuso.privacyfriendlynetmonitorapp – Robert Apr 20 '18 at 18:45
