    Force selected applications through Orbot while preventing unchecked

    applications to have network access.

    In short, orWall will add special iptables rules in order to redirect traffic

    for applications through Tor; it will also add required rules in order to block

    traffic for other apps. The redirection is based on the application user id.

    Each android application runs as a dedicated user, and iptables has support for

    traffic filtering based on the process owner, meaning it's really easy and

    pretty safe to do this kind of thing on an Android device.

    The application works in two stages: first, an init-script will block all

    incoming and outgoing traffic. This should prevent leaks, knowing Android sends

    stuff before you can even access the device. Second stage comes once the device

    is fully booted: orWall itself takes the lead on the firewall, and add required

    rules in order to allow Orbot traffic, and redirect selected application to

    Orbot TransPort.

    Limitations: init-script works only on Android <= 4.4.x

    Conflict: all other firewall application such as AFWall, DroidWall, etc
