TrustedBlocker is a small app, which enhances surfing with Safari on your iPhone or iPad: Disturbing advertisments like overlays or blinking banners are reduced to a minimum and thus your experience surfing the web is greatly improved. Did you know that about 50%-90% of data being transferred to your device while you visit a website is to display adverts? Precious amounts of your data included in your plan is wasted for content you likely did not want to see. TrustedBlocker stops loading of such elements and Safari can load websites much faster than before - and on top of that you save data. With TrustedBlocker you have full control over what content is being blocked and from which domains (URLs). The app shows you a list of all blocked domains and you have total control over what is being blocked. You can add new domains yourself and don't need for us to update the block list. And don't worry, TrustedBlocker cannot save any data about your surfing habits as it has no way to see where you surf. On top of that the only connection TrustedBlocker establishes with it's server is to download a list of domains to block or if you report a website to have unwanted content displayed. * Speeds up surfing with Safari on your iPhone or iPad * Stops being tracked by social networks (has to be explicitly activated in TrustedBlocker) * No transmitting of data to TrustedBlocker's Server. * No tracking of surfing habits. * Absolute transparency about what is being blocked including the domain names.

PremierNexus keeps you connected when traditional VPN protocols can't get through. By routing your traffic through encrypted DNS tunnels, PremierNexus maintains reliable connectivity even on the most restrictive and unpredictable networks. ENCRYPTED DNS TUNNELS Unlike conventional VPNs that rely on easily identified protocols, PremierNexus encodes your traffic within standard DNS queries. This approach works on networks where other connection methods fail, giving you dependable access to the services you need. TWO CONNECTION MODES Full VPN — Routes all device traffic through the DNS tunnel automatically. No app configuration needed. Proxy Mode — Runs a local SOCKS5 proxy so you can choose which apps connect through the tunnel. Ideal for keeping specific apps connected while everything else uses your normal network. SMART DNS RESOLVER DISCOVERY Some networks restrict access to common DNS servers. PremierNexus includes a built-in scanner that finds working DNS resolvers on your network automatically. A regularly updated database of verified resolvers is included for immediate use, with one-tap refresh to fetch the latest list. ADAPTIVE MTU TUNING Network conditions vary — PremierNexus includes 20 tuning presets that adjust DNS query size and packet duplication to match your connection. Choose from presets optimised for Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, lossy cellular, and more, or let the app use automatic defaults. ONE-TAP CONNECT Add your server once and connect with a single tap from the dashboard. Import server configurations instantly via shareable config URLs — no manual setup required. BUILT FOR GLOBAL USERS Full Farsi (فارسی) language support Guided setup walkthrough for new users Verified DNS resolver database updated from community sources Works on Wi-Fi, cellular, and restricted enterprise networks PRIVACY & SECURITY Traffic encrypted with XOR, ChaCha20, AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256 No ads, no tracking, no data collection Connection stays entirely between your device and your server Open DNS resolver scanning — you control which resolvers you trust FEATURES AT A GLANCE DNS tunnel VPN with full device routing SOCKS5 proxy mode for per-app control Built-in DNS resolver scanner 20 MTU tuning presets for network optimisation Shareable stormdns:// config URLs for easy setup Real-time traffic monitoring (upload/download) Farsi and English language support Onboarding guide for new users PremierNexus is designed for users who need connectivity they can count on, wherever they are.
