About Lockdown Privacy: AdBlock VPN
— Comprehensive Protection —
Lockdown has two privacy features: Firewall and Secure Tunnel VPN. Each feature protects you from different threats, creating the complete solution for protecting your personal data, browsing history, and sensitive connections.
FIREWALL — Blocks Hidden Trackers: The world's first on-device, open source blocker that stops ads, trackers, and badware in all your apps.
SECURE TUNNEL VPN — Keep Your Data and Browsing Private: It's the no-logs, blazing-fast, privacy-first VPN. The only VPN to prove its Privacy Policy and be fully audited.
— BASIC FIREWALL FEATURES —
- Simple, one-tap to get protected against thousands of trackers for most users
- Fully customizable blocking for advanced users: block any domain / service
- Works for all apps, not just the browser
- Useful preconfigured block lists that are updated every week
- Blocking works "on-device" meaning it does all of its blocking without sending all your data to a third party server, unlike other blocking apps
—ADVANCED FIREWALL FEATURES—
- Import and create your own custom lists
- Export your custom lists to share with others and save offline
- Block thousands more trackers
- Access to advanced curated lists and app specific block lists (e.g. TikTok, iFunny, Junes Journey)
— SECURE TUNNEL VPN FEATURES —
- Hide your location and unique IP address with one tap
- Keeps you safe on public wi-fi hotspots and sites
- Stops spying from snoopers and your ISP or cellular provider
- Ultrafast with over a dozen regions globally
— TRANSPARENCY YOU CAN TRUST —
- Other privacy apps lie on their Privacy Policy and secretly sell user data, even if they promise not to
- To solve this issue, the Openly Operated certification requires apps to *prove* their Privacy Policy
- Lockdown is Openly Operated certified with a public 38-page audit report, and audited multiple times by security professionals

— UNPARALLELED PRIVACY —
- Open Source: Since firewalls have access to *everything* you do, it's critical that any firewall you use should be open source. Lockdown is 100% open source.
- On-Device: Lockdown Firewall doesn’t connect to any servers. No logs of your browsing are sent to third parties or to our servers when using Lockdown Firewall.

New update made app useless
Updated the app, and suddenly it stopped working. Makes your phone not able to connect to the internet as it is always trying to connect to the firewall/vpn. Tried reinstalling, but didn’t work. Was a great app I’ve used for years and had recommended to friends/family, but I cannot recommend to anyone now as the app is quite literally useless (as it cannot connect at all no matter how long you wait) and causes your phone not have internet connection. Not sure what the update did, but hoping that the devs either fix the issue or revert to an older version Edit: came back and saw dev responses saying a patch was available and to reinstall the app. Last update was the one that broke it, but thought maybe it was just on their end. Reinstalling still did not fix the issue and the app is still completely broken like before, with it still not being able to connect to the firewall and causing the phone to not have internet. On iOS 15.8.6

Broken on iOS 17
Worked fine for years and newest update seemingly broke it for older iOS versions without so much as even a mention of it in the update notes as warning. Unable to connect even with an app reinstall now. So much for that… Edit: devs claimed in response to this a new patch is available. That is a straight up lie as I have no updates available and it still won’t work no matter how many times I reinstall or restart the firewall.
