Why Choose InternetGuard?


InternetGuard stands out as the top choice for data usage management. It utilizes your device’s VPN package to create a firewall, ensuring that all data packets sent or received by your apps pass through the VPN. This means all incoming and outgoing data traffic is attributed to InternetGuard.



Fortunately, InternetGuard now includes its own Data Usage feature, allowing you to monitor data usage for each app. To view usage statistics, simply select Data Usage from the home screen.

Important Note


It’s essential to understand that this app is based on the VPN interface, which is the only method to implement a firewall on no-root devices. It acts as a proxy between common apps and the servers, ensuring that your data remains secure. The app does not steal your data or send any of its own.
