Your phone. Your call.2 allowed/1 blocked

Your phone. Your ground rules.

You don’t have to disconnect everything.
Just the apps you choose.

  1. 1

    Pick your apps.

    Search your installed apps and choose which ones should stay offline.

  2. 2

    Switch on the firewall.

    Net Pilot opens a local VPN interface. Blocked traffic is discarded right on your phone.

  3. 3

    Carry on, your way.

    Allowed apps keep their connection. A foreground notification keeps the firewall status in view.

Less fiddling.
More living.

Set your rules once. Make them work
with the way you use your phone.

Different networks.
Different rules.

Let an app connect on Wi-Fi but keep it offline on mobile data. Separate block lists give you control over both.

Where it belongs.

Your connection doesn’t take a detour through our servers. Net Pilot handles blocking on your device.

A firewall, not a remote VPN.

Uses Android’s local VPN interface. It doesn’t hide your public IP or encrypt traffic to a remote provider.

An account is your choice.

Optional sign-in syncs settings only. Block lists, presets, schedules, and traffic deltas stay local by default.

Only the access you choose.

Blocking needs no Accessibility permission. Optional foreground alerts don’t read screen content.

Good questions.
Straight answers.

A little clarity before you connect.

Is Net Pilot a VPN?

It uses Android's VPN API as a local firewall, not a remote anonymity VPN. Allowed apps bypass the tunnel. Blocked apps stay in the tunnel and their packets are discarded on your device. It does not hide your public IP or encrypt traffic to a remote provider.

Is it really free?

Yes. Firewall features are free, including unlimited block lists, presets, and schedules. There is no premium tier for firewall controls.

Can I set different rules for Wi-Fi and mobile data?

Yes. Separate block lists let you allow an app on Wi-Fi while blocking it on mobile data, or the other way around.

Does blocking require Accessibility?

No. Blocking does not require Accessibility. The optional Accessibility feature only detects when a blocked app comes to the foreground so Net Pilot can notify you. It does not read screen content and is not an assistive tool for disabilities.

Do I need an account?

An account is optional and syncs settings only. Block lists, presets, schedules, and traffic deltas stay on your device by default. Deleting your account removes the cloud copy when deletion succeeds.
