描述

Lockdown is the world's first Open Source firewall for iOS -- and now available on Mac! Lockdown allows you to block any connection to any domain and protecting your privacy across the web. For free.

— FEATURES —
- Block any domain / service
- Works for all apps, not just the browser
- Useful preconfigured defaults
- See what's being blocked
- Optional VPN for additional privacy

— BEST-IN-CLASS 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 does its magic on-device and doesn't connect to any servers, or third-party analytics, or anything else. This way, everything you do stays private to you.
- World's Simplest Privacy Policy: Here's the entirety of it (July 23rd, 2019) - "Everything Lockdown does stays on your device, so what you see is literally what you get, and nothing more or less, because that's the way it should be."

— 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

too opaque; allows tracking by default

The way in which this vpn runs is quite opaque to the user - perhaps this is by design under the mantra of "it just works", but it's not even clear to the user what kind of connection is being made. The firewall is also troubling - if you click through to the blocklists, you can see that a huge range of trackers are whitelisted by default. Again, this is a very odd choice if the purpose of the firewall is supposed to be privacy protection. If there's a good reason for these whitelists, it is not made clear to the user - again, an issue of developer opacity that ought to lead to more questions rather than just acceptance.
