App Protection kills bandwith

Belamanth

Sometimes the app-security feature in Freedome on Android gets stuck on any one of my apps. When this happens while on my local home netork via WiFi, it blocks almost all bandwith of my outbound DSL connection.

 

As I have only a low bandwidth, this makes internet access almost impossible from any other device until I switch this feature off. Sometimes a reboot helps.

Ok, that nify detail of uploading the whole app to your servers escaped me. As my DSL upstream is stuck at about 0.3 Mbps (DONT LAUGH, FINLAND!), this can in fact really gobble my bandwidth.

 

Maybe any means of limiting upload bandwidth could be implemented at some time?
