Karma Firewall vs OpenDNS Updater
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Karma Firewall
Karma Firewall app lets you take control back of your phone and block internet traffic to and from specific apps. This is a simple yet powerful firewall with an easy to use intuitive GUI which allows you to protect your sensitive data. Ever wondered why lots of apps that have no need for Internet access require Internet Permissions? Its usually either to display adverts or send your sensitive data back to servers in USA, China or Russia. Karma Firewall can block this traffic and protect your personal data. You do not need any technical skills to use, no complicated IP Addressing, Ports, Packet Filtering etc. Simply select the apps you want to block, and you are protected. Karma Firewall is the safest, most trusted Android Firewall. Karma FW is completely different from all other VPN Firewalls. We intercept no allowed traffic. Karma FW requires NO Internet permissions. Without Internet permissions Karma FW CANNOT steal your data and send it anywhere.
OpenDNS Updater
* Quick presentation OpenDNS Updater is an extremely easy to use android app to perform dynamic IP updates on OpenDNS services. * Presentation OpenDns is a very famous DNS service used by a lot of people, but not everybody knows that they also provide some filtering product for individuals. This type of service is free and can be very useful to filter websites such as porn, phishing, malware, and many other category. The service rely on your external IP to perform filter actions. Why an android application for a DNS service ?

Updater exist for almost Windows, Mac and Linux, but not for Android or IOS.
