Description
Lockdown blocks trackers and badware in all your apps, blocking an estimated 100 million trackers per month for over 300,000 people.
— 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Great, but ‘Apps’.....
Installed this recently after discovering it via an article and have to say it checks all the right boxes, especially it being Open Source..
Two subjective quibbles I have observed and feel obliged to note are, firstly, despite this not registering under iOS’ Battery setting, I am noticing a slight discernible hit when using the App.
The second minor gripe is that whilst I appreciate the extra lick of paint in the latest release, I don’t care for, not have any use for the VPN. Could consideration be given to hiding this aspect entirely and reinstating the initial interface present in the initial release(s) which still features in the review preview (please)?
Now the monetisation begins…
This has been a fantastic app for blocking ridiculous amounts of tracking nasties, including Facebook and Google, but this update starts to break that for money and subscription. Taking out things that were previously blocked and deciding that’s now behind the paywall is quite petty and I hope they reverse it. If the model isn’t paying with the VPN, then why not just charge a modest fee for the basic app in the first place instead of yet more subscriptions? There is still the element of custom blocking at the minute, which I appreciate as I’ve been able to manually enter the now blocked Facebook and Google domains, but you’ve got to know what those domains are in the first place. Kind of takes away the intuitive nature of setting up and letting the app get on with it…
Edit: So, now it’s even worse as they openly put the old blocked trackers onto a new “advanced “ list!
This is one of the worst bait and switches that I’ve ever seen. Come on developers, we know you’ve sold out, but at least keep what you had before. Maybe charge an initial app fee instead of the subscription model?
It’s a shame, but I won’t be updating to version 2.0, and will probably delete the app if it gets any worse. Certainly won’t be recommending anyone install it anymore and I was a vocal supporter to all my iPhone friend’s previously…
Seems lacking…
Admittedly I’m only using the free parts of the app, but recently I’m getting far more adverts than I used to. Either the companies are getting smarter and faster, or this isn’t doing the job it should.
My biggest gripe is that you can’t seem to be able to update the blocking list… you just have to trust it’s working. Once a week a banner appears which I need to tap to update, but even recently that only seems to have opened the app to their pro version advert. If there was simply a manual option to update (and a place that tells you what update you’re running) then I’d have more confidence.
I don’t need a VPN, so won’t upgrade, and though I don’t mind being shown pro benefits on a free service, I’m worried it gets in the way of being properly protected.
