Firewall iP for iPhone has been updated to v1.4 and adds port blocking, allow and deny all access, import lists and more.
Firewall iP Features:
- Block outgoing TCP & UDP connections selectively
- Shows you the hostname for the connection & can provide you with WhoIs information
- Block connections of apps when you are on a cellular network
- Block analytic providers / data collectors which PrivaCy can’t
- Block unneeded content (ads ;))
- Easy to use interface & control app
Changelog 1.40:
● Port Blocking: now you can extend rules to only block for a specific port. Simply by adding “:portnumber” to the hostname or by using the selector in the popup (example: facebook.com:80). if you tap on the (i)-button on the popup you’ll be shown a list of the most common ports. for more information take a look at this: http://bit.ly/9Dvtga. You might want to delete all rules (there is now a button in the About View) or manually edit the rules.
● Allow/Deny All Access: Allow/Deny all connections until you exit the app (or in case of Safari: Safari goes into backgrounding)
● Now Based on Regex: This should offer a faster and better experience.
● Import Lists: you can now import lists into global Allow and global Deny. For that simply put a txt file with hostnames/rules (each one gets it’s own line) into /Applications/FirewallGUI.app/Lists/ and then import it from the global Allow/Deny views. The content of the txt should look like this:*google.comfacebook.com:80 xyz.com
● fixed issues with some universal apps which could cause a crash of the application
● improved startup of the app
● won’t recognize taps on popup for one second after the popup has appeared: to reduce accidental selections
● reduced memory footprint of the app
● support for Preferences.app and SpringBoard (be careful which connections you deny)
● improved documentation (via the about view)
Firewall iP is available in the Cydia Store for $2.49 (will soon rise to $2.99)
