AFWall requires root, while NetGuard doesn't. Important distinction now that rooting affects ability to use features like Google Pay, Netflix (offline download), etc.
- pmlnr 9y agoRooted phone, no google services, and netflix downloads are just fine.
- ktta 9y agoSafetyNet is a cat and mouse game. A lot of people don't have the patience for it.
- pmlnr 9y agosystemless root (su is in the bootloader), like supersu or magisk.
- mintplant 9y agoI've never had a problem over months of using Magisk.
- FridgeSeal 9y agoI've been running Magisk since maybe August or September last year and I have not had a single issue with safetynet. I have netflix installed (after rooting) without issue, and I use Android/Google pay practically every day along with another app that requires safetyNet without any issue at all.
- cheeze 9y agoNo android pay either.
