Newest Version is Bricked
I had some trackers that were getting through the firewall, so I figured I’d update the app and see if that helped. Big mistake. Should have read the recent reviews first.
Now when I try to enable the firewall, it just gets stuck in and endless on/off stuttering loop that cuts my device off from the internet. I have to remove the app from my VPN configurations to restore internet access.
Nonsense like this is exactly why I always disable automatic updates for everything. For every 1 update that actually improves something, there are 20 that just make things worse, even to the point of rendering a program completely unusable.

Was good for a few months
I’ve had this ad blocker for a few months now and randomly my internet started getting really bad I would lose signal and not be able to use internet for a while also I didn’t have the vpn enabled I only had the ad blocker and when I deleted this app my internet suddenly got better
Functional and free
This works remarkably well even at the free plan. I’ve been considering upgrading to paid but haven’t yet, so I can’t speak on the value of that.
v2.3.2+ is broken on iOS 17.x
The firewall no longer connects when using a device running iOS 17.x versions or lower. I’ve submitted into to the devs support email address, but no reply from them in the 2 weeks since I’ve submitted the email. When attempting to activate the firewall, all network communications are blocked by the app. I’ve had to fully delete the app from my devices so I can continue to access WiFi/cellular on my phone. Please roll back the app release to v2.3 or release a new version to fix these issues asap.
Edit1 - despite the Dev’s response, the app is still not connecting on my 17.x devices. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and VPN profile multiple times, with no success.
Edit2 - still broken with the v2.4.0 update. The same behavior described above.
Edit3 - v2.4.1 also still broken.
Edit4 - surprise surprise, v2.4.2 is also still broken on iOS 17.x versions.
Edit5 - in response to the dev: I have already tried deleting the app, removing the VPN profile, and doing a clean reinstall multiple times. The clean reinstall does not fix the problem. I don’t know how to say it any more clearly - the app continues to be broken, despite these basic “troubleshooting” suggestions that should ‘tOtAlLy’ fix the issue. “Our support systems are undergoing updates.” Really? For the past 7 months that users have been reporting this issue?? Have you been operating without any support staff whatsoever for more than half a year??
Edit6 - for shiggles, I did another clean reinstall of the app, just in case. And now I can confirm 100% that no, the problem is not fixed with a reinstall.

New update still makes app useless
Saw there was an update and hoped the issues had been fixed. While the app no longer causes the phone to lose internet connection anymore, which is good, it still cannot connect to the firewall or vpn, which still makes the app useless to have. It basically instantly gives up and says there’s no internet connection when there is, then repeats that every second. Even complete reinstall of the app did not fix the issue. On iOS 15.8.7 and iPhone 7 Still hoping the devs would revert back to the version prior to their Jan update that broke the app. Given how every review since that Jan update has said the app is now broken, even on phones newer than mine, and none have said it worked, I’d think that be the best option, but for some reason they’re refusing to
Edit:
App still is broken. Despite most reviews saying as such, and dev responses saying they know the problem exists since January, the devs haven’t been able to fix it and refuse to revert back to a previous version when the app worked. It’s a great shame, given this had been a great app that I’ve had for years, but I’m slowly losing hope on the future of this app
