Nomoads blocks ads, trackers and unwanted domains in apps, games and Safari, right on your iPhone and iPad. It works at the DNS level: when an app tries to reach a known ad or tracking server, Nomoads stops the request before it connects. Turn it on with one tap and it keeps working in the background. WHY PEOPLE USE NOMOADS • Fewer ads in apps, games and websites • Stop trackers that follow you from app to app • Block known scam, phishing and gambling domains • See what was blocked, domain by domain PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Filtering happens on your device • No account needed • Nomoads never sees or stores your browsing history • Your traffic does not pass through Nomoads servers Nomoads uses the iOS VPN permission only to filter DNS locally. It does not change your IP address or location. FEATURES • Protection levels from Relaxed to Ultimate • Advanced lists: scams, gambling, adult content, social networks, intrusive overlays • Custom filter lists and your own blocked domains • Allowlist for sites you trust • Live stats and a full query log • Home Screen widget FREE & PREMIUM Start free with up to 1,000 blocks per day. Premium removes the daily limit and unlocks stronger protection levels, advanced and custom lists, and 30-day stats history. GOOD TO KNOW Some ads come from the same servers as the content itself (for example, video ads inside YouTube), and DNS filtering cannot remove those. iOS allows only one active VPN at a time.
