Netguard Problem

Newbie
Installed Netguard on my Moto G5+ with Android 7.0. Main reason was to only use wifi with Pandora.
Had trouble receiving calls/ no ring. As soon as I uninstalled it, I could get calls.
Does anyone have knowledge about this or heard of this problem. Maybe I have a setting wrong.
Kind of lost !!

Sounds like you still need go through the entire listing to allow a lot of apps/processes through your firewall. I approach it from the opposite way, initially allowing everything WiFi and mobile data access and then just selectively blocking those specific apps/processes I know I don't want to have any online access.
 
The only thing I blocked was Pandora from cell data. Maybe I will reinstall
and not change anything to test it. When I looked through the list, I did not see
anything related to cell data.
 
You'll probably get better results starting from scratch by going into your Settings >> Apps >> NetGuard and then tap on Storage to access the 'Clear data' button. Using 'Clear data' will wipe any settings/configurations you made, along with the app's cache, returning the app to its original, clean state. Just using 'Uninstall' doesn't necessarily wipe everything.

I use Netguard and in the settings at the top do not turn it on where it shows the key icon. Only Stop apps you don't want to receive or send data by ticking the red and the green funnel shaped icons beside each app.
