Ghosty Privacy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ghosty is a privacy firewall that lives on your phone. It checks the connections your apps make and stops the ones that are there to track you. No account, no server in the middle: what Ghosty sees stays on your device. HOW IT WORKS A firewall has to sit where connections leave your phone. On iPhone and iPad that spot belongs to the built-in VPN system, so Ghosty asks iOS for a VPN configuration. There is no VPN server. Your traffic leaves your device for the sites you use, same as before. Ghosty looks at each domain lookup on the way out, answers the ones on your blocklists itself, and forwards the rest to the DNS resolver you choose. WHAT IT BLOCKS Five curated categories, each with its own switch: • Analytics – usage tracking and session replay • Marketing Trackers – cross-site profiling • Logging – crash and event-log uploads • Social Media – share buttons that phone home • Consent Management – consent-banner telemetry Add your own domains on top. Everything you block applies to every app on the device, not just the browser. SEE WHAT YOUR APPS ARE DOING • Home shows today's count and who tried most often • Activity lists every blocked lookup as it happens, grouped by what caught it • Insights breaks the day down by hour and by category • Worth blocking suggests domains your apps keep asking for YOU STAY IN CHARGE • Pause for 15 minutes, an hour, or until tomorrow morning. Ghosty turns itself back on, so you cannot forget. • Turn any category off with one tap • Remove the configuration any time in iOS Settings PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-in • No server. Blocking decisions are made on the device. • Lookups, domains, and IP addresses never leave your phone • Usage reports are off by default and never include a domain or lookup. Turn them on or off in Settings. GHOSTY PREMIUM • See every lookup, allowed as well as blocked • 7-day and 30-day Insights • Real-time protection: blocks tracker-looking domains that are not on any list • Unlimited blocklist (the free plan keeps 10) • Choose your DNS resolver: Cloudflare, Quad9, Google, OpenDNS, Control D, and more Premium is available monthly, yearly, or as a family plan for up to six people. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://christianfesta.com/ghosty/terms Privacy Policy: https://christianfesta.com/ghosty/privacy

Ever made a phone call without a phone number, fully encrypted, with your own phone as the server? That's doxx.net: Agentic Defined Networking (ADN), a private network for you and your AI agents. Built by security engineers who think the internet should serve users, not the ad companies, trackers, and surveillance systems that profit from watching you. They track everything. We don't. As your agents increasingly browse, communicate, and act on your behalf, they inherit that same surveilled internet. doxx.net gives your agents their own identity and their own rules for who's allowed to talk to them, so you decide who sees what. We believe in privacy, freedom of speech, and protected communications. Every call, chat, and file you send travels peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted, built to survive quantum computers. Your browsing and mesh traffic ride the same encrypted tunnel. Everyday users get privacy by default. Advanced users connect their home networks and agents. Journalists in restricted regions reach the open internet through protocols built to evade censorship. We run our own global network: no leased servers, no third-party API calls, all AI processing on our own bare metal. User networking was left behind with clunky apps, no innovation, and marketing that lies, so we rebuilt it from the metal up. Agentic Defined Networking • Let your agents talk to each other on private channels, and reach you from anywhere. They live on your network, not in someone else's cloud. • Native MCP support for agent runtimes, zero glue. • Agent Gateway lets an AI assistant read, draft, and send your chats for you. Only your own paired devices can reach it. • Paste https://config.doxx.net into any AI assistant, and let it set up tunnels, firewalls, and domains for you. P2P Comms • Calls, chat, video calls, voice memos, and file transfer go straight between devices and agents, never through us. No call logs, no message logs, no server-side copies. • Calls: Fresh encryption keys every single call, sent directly to the other device. • Chat: Encrypted before it leaves your phone, device to device. Auto-translate built in. • Voice Memos: With filters and voice customization. • NetDrop: File transfer with no server, no company in the middle, ever. Protect You and Your Agents • 25+ filters plus neural-network detection for threats no static list has seen. 36 million+ blocked since December 2025. • Ad, tracker, and malware blocking. • Custom category filtering for sites you want blocked. • Visible feedback: what was blocked, why, and who is tracking you. • Self-Destruct PIN: a second PIN that silently wipes your chats, media, and login instantly if you're ever forced to unlock, with nothing left to open. Global Architecture • Locations in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. • API-driven everything: mesh, firewalls, network design, security. • Full IPv4 and IPv6, post-quantum-ready encryption, onion routing. • One integrated portal for tunnels, domains, security, billing, and AI network chat. • Covert Communications make your traffic look like ordinary browsing and keep you connected where VPNs are blocked (WebSocket, QUIC, HTTPS, SIP, ICMP). Privacy Done Transparently • No activity logs: events are processed in memory, never stored as user-linked history. • No accounts: tokenized access, no usernames, passwords, emails, or phone numbers. • No data selling, no third-party SDKs or analytics. • Built on open, proven protocols. • With an Apple purchase, all we hold is Apple's cryptographically signed receipt. Nothing that can identify your data or packets. • Real infrastructure, no shell companies: North America run by our U.S. company, Europe by our Swiss division in Zurich. No hidden ownership.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: doxx.net at none against Ghosty Privacy's 3. doxx.net also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
