Firewall

Dear all,

Can anybody give me some hints about how to make a firewall for android?

Thanks,

Android is Linux-based and uses iptables so if you're looking to create an app, I'd just build a front-end for iptables. Be aware that you can do very bad things to your phone if you screw up your tables, though.

Especially on a cell phone...just be very careful when you mess with the tables. Your app must have the ability to gain root access to do it as well.
