About

PuriFi

Features
Read full description

PuriFi is the companion app for the PuriFi device β€” a network appliance that protects every device on your network. PuriFi blocks ads, trackers, and unwanted content on every device in your home β€” and everywhere you go. PuriFi's live animation shows your internet traffic flowing in real time. Watch as ads and trackers are intercepted and destroyed before they ever reach your devices β€” it's your internet, visualized. Unlike browser-based ad blockers, PuriFi works at the network level. That means every device connected to your home network is protected β€” phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and even smart home devices. No apps to install on each device. No settings to configure. Just plug in your PuriFi device and you're set. Set up your PuriFi device with the app, connect it to your home network, and every device is automatically protected. PuriFi blocks thousands of known tracking domains, so advertisers can't follow you around the internet. When you leave home, PuriFi's built-in VPN keeps you connected to your home network β€” so you get the same clean internet wherever you are. Block adult content, gambling sites, social media, and more. Enable SafeSearch across various platforms with one tap. Choose from preset protection levels or customize your own β€” from light ad blocking to full lockdown mode. See exactly how many ads and trackers are being blocked, monitor your network health, and adjust your protection level β€” all from the app. PuriFi requires the PuriFi hardware device. Available at purifi.io. Does not block sponsored content.
