## What is GCSA HomeGuard?

GCSA Home Guard is a network and device safety self-check tool that helps you understand your current network environment and identify common risk signals.

Key features:
• Network Information: View your public IP, provider/ASN, estimated network-egress location, and DNS and WebRTC diagnostic signals.
• Home Devices: With permission, discover visible devices on the current local network and review limited, explainable device and service clues.
• Nearby Bluetooth: With permission, view nearby Bluetooth signals and explainable risk hints.
• Financial Safety: Check suspicious or impersonation domains and analyze supported public blockchain wallet addresses that you choose to submit.

Privacy:
Local-network scan results, SSID/BSSID, device hostnames, and Bluetooth identifiers are processed and displayed on device by default and are not uploaded. Public IP addresses you actively query may be sent to ip.gcsa.org for ASN, network-provider, and approximate-region lookup. Supported public cryptocurrency wallet addresses you actively submit may be sent to chainscan.gcsa.org for risk analysis. The app never asks for or uploads wallet private keys, seed phrases, or clipboard secrets.

GCSA Home Guard is not a VPN, proxy, MDM, antivirus, or cross-region traffic relay and does not replace a professional security audit. Results may vary with iOS permissions, network conditions, and device responses.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-03

Compared with 1.0.0, this update refreshes the dashboard and Home Devices screens so network status, device lists, and safety check results are easier to read.
• Improved scan progress, permission guidance, and recovery for home network and nearby Bluetooth scans. Stale results are less likely to appear after switching networks or reopening the app.
• Improved cold-start public IP lookups and the reliability of DNS, WebRTC, and speed test diagnostics. Public IP and estimated network-egress location lookup is on by default and can be turned off or back on in Settings.
• Added language options and refined localized text, date formats, and accessibility.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-15

This update improves scanning and device information with the following fixes:

• Fixed incorrect restoration of device names, notes, categories, and trust labels after reopening the app, and improved separation of information between networks.
• Fixed outdated progress and summaries that could remain after a scan was paused, stopped, or denied permission.
• Improved permission explanations and Settings guidance for Bluetooth, Local Network, and Location.
• Fixed scrolling issues when paging with an external keyboard and improved Bluetooth scan recovery and cleanup.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-08

This update includes bug fixes and stability improvements:

• Fixed an issue where device scan results and history summaries could display incorrectly after switching Wi-Fi networks.
• Fixed outdated status messages that could remain after a scan was paused, stopped, or failed.
• Improved Dashboard data restoration and refresh on app launch and after network changes, keeping check summaries and history statistics consistent.
• Fixed an issue that could cause duplicate wallet risk analysis requests during network disruptions.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-01

This update improves the reliability of home network and device safety checks:
• Improves Dashboard history summaries, one-tap checks, and state refresh after network or VPN changes.
• Fixes an issue where previous Home Devices scan history could appear as the current result during a rescan, with clearer permission and network-change messages.
• Improves wallet address check state handling, speed-test retry reliability, and gauge animation.
