Hi, I hv installed the firewall ip into my jailbreak iPhone 3gs, but it seems nothing is working. Firewall does not block any outgoing connections. Need it help to get this working.

Actually – I have just realised that when I uninstall Firewall it leaves the /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.Yllier.FirewallRules.plist

in the iphone. I have just removed these and reinstalled Firewall. THis should at least enable me to reset the da.. thing. Will report if this DOESNT work.

Hi – I have had firewall installed on my jailbroken iphone, but with the new version of firewall, and the latest version of skype, skype will not connect through firewall, even though connect all is on. As soon as I uninstall firewall skype will connect. Fring gets through firewall, but its voice quality is awful. So – I want to use firewall, and I want to use skype.

Adding to the oddity of this, firewall only seems to be blocking skype at my bush house which has adsl. However, that’s exactly where I want to use it!

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing firewall but it gives precisely the same behaviour. Uninstalling and reinstalling Skype does not help.

Any clues how to get over this?

All the best,

Jim

My edge usage is skyrocketting even with edge turned off so I installed this app and turned off all connectivity to all apps to see if it helped, it didnt, I went up another 7 hours today of edge usage even though 2 apps (sb settings and firewall) are supposed to be blocking it. Im not even using the iphone for internet or barely for anything at all! Driving me nuts, not sure what this is supposed to block but it does not block the background edge leakage that plagues so many people, it simply keeps you from opening and using apps directly that need an internet connection.

I have placed *pinchmedia.com in the global deny list
but I still see the dialog pop up in some apps that ask me what I want to do with such connection.

and I also have a problem with free wifi connection which redirect all connections to another page which the iphone will check if it is able to connect to apple.com or not
each time Firewall IP ask me if I want to allow apple.com even I have clicked allow all connecitons or always allow

One feature I’d like to see is the option to ‘Global Allow’ or ‘Global Deny’ URLs as they come up instead of having to go into the app to do that. A default list of web ads for ‘Global Deny’ would be nice too such as admob and doubleclick.

Still a really good app though!

ok, fixed. sorry for that. I’ll make some slight changes to some other things and release it in 24-48 hours. I hope that’s ok.
