IP7 Firewall is the version for iOS 7 of the famous tweak IP firewall, and with its help we can implement a firewall in iOS that allows us to restrict the internet access of any iOS process. Having a functionality similar to that of a PC firewall, IP7 Firewall warns us every time a service/application tries to connect to the Internet, gives us the possibility to allow/restrict its access to the network and allows us to set various rules for them.
Firewall iP7 allows you to block outgoing connections (TCP, UDP & SCTP). And by doing that an app can't send out or receive data if the connection is blocked. It hooks into applications and will warn you if the app wants to establish a connection to a host and shows you the hostname. Then you have the options to allow or deny the connection once/always or allow/deny all connections for the application. Port specific blocking is possible. You can decide if the application will send data. Developers will no longer be able to collect statistics and data about you (UDID, phone number, usage statistics...). With Firewall iP7 you can cover all app analytic providers which aren't in PrivaCy and also custom analytics.
The tweak has a settings menu where we can implement various filters and rules for connecting to the Internet, the options being similar to those of a real Firewall. You can practically block access to the Internet on any port or any type of connection and thus you can make sure that nothing "enters or leaves" your iDevice without you knowing. The interesting part is that through this tweak you can block the sending of confidential information or other types of statistics to the developers of various applications, so you can protect your privacy at any time.
IP7 Firewall is available in the repo BigBoss al Cydia and is compatible with pangu jailbreak.
