Iron Blocker keeps Safari clean and your phone quiet. It strips ads and trackers out of the pages you open, lets you block sites you would rather not visit, and keeps known spam numbers from ringing through. Everything runs on your iPhone, with no account to create. WHAT IRON BLOCKER DOES Ad blocking in Safari Banners, pop-ups and video ad slots are filtered out before the page renders. Pages load faster and use less mobile data. Tracker blocking Advertising and analytics trackers are cut off, so the sites you read learn less about you and follow you around less. Website blocking Add any domain to your own block list and Safari will stop opening it. Handy for time sinks, for pages you do not want on a shared device, and for the sites that keep redirecting you. Call blocking Iron Blocker loads a spam number database into the Phone app, so matching calls are blocked or labeled before you pick up. You can add your own numbers to the list at any time. Simple to switch on Turn Iron Blocker on in Settings once, for Safari and for the Phone app, and it works in the background from then on. No proxy, no configuration profile. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO Iron Blocker does not scan your device, does not look for viruses or malware, and does not read the content of your pages, your messages or your calls. Your block lists stay on your iPhone. Filtering works in Safari and in apps that use the Safari view; it does not change traffic in other apps. IRON BLOCKER PREMIUM Premium adds extended filter lists, unlimited entries in your website and phone number lists, and automatic updates to the blocking rules as new ad networks and spam numbers appear. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Iron Blocker Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. The available plans, their length and their prices are shown in the app before you confirm anything. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in Account Settings after purchase.

VPN Protectify encrypts the connection leaving your iPhone and routes it out through a location you choose. One control turns it on. No account, no sign-up, no email address needed to connect. WHAT IT DOES - Encrypts your traffic between your device and the server you select - Changes the IP address that websites and services see - Shows you both addresses, so you can check that it actually changed - Works on public and shared Wi-Fi, where it matters most CHOOSE WHERE YOU COME OUT Servers in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany and Spain. Optimal Location picks the nearest available server for you, and switching takes one tap. NO ACCOUNT There is nothing to register. Access to paid features is verified against your App Store purchase, so no email address, password or profile exists anywhere in the app. WHAT WE DON'T KEEP No browsing history. No DNS records. No traffic contents. No session records tied to an identity — because connecting requires no identity. The full detail, including the technical data the app does report about itself, is set out in our privacy policy. EMAIL LEAK CHECK An optional tool that checks whether an email address appears in known data breaches. The lookup is performed by Have I Been Pwned, and the address is used for that check only. The VPN works without ever using it. WHAT A VPN DOESN'T DO Worth saying plainly. A VPN does not make you anonymous: sites can still recognise you through accounts you sign into, cookies already on your device, and anything you type in yourself. It is not antivirus and it does not secure the device itself. It encrypts your connection and changes where that connection appears to come from. That is the job. SUBSCRIPTION A subscription is available in weekly, monthly and yearly terms. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency before you confirm a purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Renewals are charged at the rate of the plan you subscribed to. Where a free trial is offered, eligibility is determined by Apple and any unused portion is forfeited when a subscription is purchased. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase — deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
