Description
```
This is perhaps more a question than a bug. It appears that on lollipop,
Android uses a process that runs as app ID 1000 to detect if the network is
online, and won't enable the network connection unless it can do so. This is a
departure from Android 2.x (I never owned a phone with 4.x so can't compare
there). If I leave 1000 and root applications blocked in DroidWall, no other
app can communicate either, and I get the white exclamation point indicating
bad network connection.
Is there a way around this new network detection behavior? I think it is part
of lollipop's "don't use this network unless we know it is good" feature, but I
don't like because I now have to let "Android System" run free with data usage.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
DroidWall 1.5.7
Android 5.0 stock rooted on Moto X (2014/2nd gen)
