Trackers follow you everywhere — in apps, browsers, and emails — building profiles that advertisers and data brokers sell, and AI-powered attackers weaponize. Tracker Protection stops them. HOW IT WORKS Tracker Protection runs at the DNS layer. Every domain your device tries to look up routes through our encrypted DNS resolver. So every time an app or website tries to connect to a known tracker, our technology blocks the connection before the tracker can do anything. No scripts run. No data leaves. No profile gets built. — Blocks thousands of tracker domains before they collect your data — Encrypts every DNS lookup so your ISP, carrier, and Wi-Fi network can't see what sites and apps you're using — Works system-wide: every app, every browser, every email client on your device FREE — Default tracker blocking, always on — Encrypted DNS for every lookup PREMIUM Everything in Free, plus: — Activity dashboard: see what was blocked, on which sites — Per-vendor controls — Facebook, Google, Amazon, TikTok, Snapchat — choose protection level for each — Block email tracking pixels — Block fingerprinting scripts — Block cryptomining WHY DISCONNECT — No logs.
