Android firewall related

AFWall+: app with wifi permission still can't connect to network
give explicit permission using custom script:
..using SManager, create file named (example) afplus.sh on /data/local folder
..give permissions 0755 (Group/User 0) to the file

..content of file (example):
# Necessary at the beginning of each script!
IP6TABLES=/system/bin/ip6tables
IPTABLES=/system/bin/iptables

$IPTABLES -A "afwall" -p TCP --destination-port 3389 -j ACCEPT || exit

..on AFWall+, choose "Set custom script" and fill:
. /data/local/afplus.sh
---
reference: CustomScripts

ALTERNATIVE: XPrivacy - The ultimate, yet easy to use, privacy manager
* for Lollipop, see Installation section
+ [it can] revoke permission to internet access

Firewall for NON-ROOTED...is it good?
I'm finding that Grey Shirts NoRoot Firewall is being shut down (I guess by VPN conflict) too frequently to be a reliable FW. (source)
NoRoot Firewall privacy concerns, manipulation possible?
