Lockdown blocks trackers and badware in all your apps, blocking an estimated 100 million trackers per month for over 300,000 people. — Comprehensive Protection — Lockdown has two privacy features: Firewall and Secure Tunnel VPN. Each feature protects you from different threats, creating the complete solution for protecting your personal data, browsing history, and sensitive connections. FIREWALL — Blocks Hidden Trackers: The world's first on-device, open source blocker that stops ads, trackers, and badware in all your apps. SECURE TUNNEL VPN — Keep Your Data and Browsing Private: It's the no-logs, blazing-fast, privacy-first VPN. The only VPN to prove its Privacy Policy and be fully audited. — BASIC FIREWALL FEATURES — - Simple, one-tap to get protected against thousands of trackers for most users - Fully customizable blocking for advanced users: block any domain / service - Works for all apps, not just the browser - Useful preconfigured block lists that are updated every week - Blocking works "on-device" meaning it does all of its blocking without sending all your data to a third party server, unlike other blocking apps

 —ADVANCED FIREWALL FEATURES— - Import and create your own custom lists - Export your custom lists to share with others and save offline - Block thousands more trackers - Access to advanced curated lists and app specific block lists (e.g. TikTok, iFunny, Junes Journey) — SECURE TUNNEL VPN FEATURES — - Hide your location and unique IP address with one tap - Keeps you safe on public wi-fi hotspots and sites - Stops spying from snoopers and your ISP or cellular provider - Ultrafast with over a dozen regions globally — TRANSPARENCY YOU CAN TRUST — - Other privacy apps lie on their Privacy Policy and secretly sell user data, even if they promise not to - To solve this issue, the Openly Operated certification requires apps to *prove* their Privacy Policy - Lockdown is Openly Operated certified with a public 38-page audit report, and audited multiple times by security professionals — UNPARALLELED PRIVACY — - Open Source: Since firewalls have access to *everything* you do, it's critical that any firewall you use should be open source. Lockdown is 100% open source. - On-Device: Lockdown Firewall doesn’t connect to any servers. No logs of your browsing are sent to third parties or to our servers when using Lockdown Firewall. — PRESS COVERAGE — - The Washington Post - Business Insider - Forbes - FastCompany - MacRumors - 9to5Mac - ZDNet - Cult of Mac - The Mac Observer - iCulture - iClarified - AppAdvice
