[SOLVED] about firewalls

Added by E D almost 9 years ago

Hello,

I have a newbie question about firewalls on replicant, do they apply also to the telephony (not 3G, just simple phone calls) ?
What about SMS ?

I just tested that while having AFwall+ enabled and nothing checked on the white list, I can still send and receive calls.

Does it mean that the telephony/modem part is driven completely apart from the android system ?

(my phone S3 i9300)

Best regards

This is not technically very relevant. The answer here is that TCP/IP is different and separate from telephony, so a firmware that applies to TCP/IP does not apply to messages and calls.

That is what I wanted to understand, thanks for your answeer.

Best regards.
