Used to be a cool app
Now it's a slow to launch AF. And for an app that claims to keep all your data within your phone, it has gobbled up gigs of data.

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
- View full OpenAudit Report: https://openaudit.com/lockdownprivacy
— 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.

More paywalls
Now other previously available features become locked behind a subscription. Quite disappointing as the UI has also gotten more confusing with paywall popups in certain lists.

Is this a malware app?
This might be a malware app!!!

5 stars for blocking ADs
It works but you have to keep it open in the background all the time. If you slide up to close it, the Ads come back.
In App advertising disappears too.

Nice concept, poor execution
1) the idea of a localhost vpn running to 127.0.0.1 is great, but it means you cannot run this with a corporate phone.
2) great lists, but they lack the curation as seen in uBlock Origins. A few lists are even empty.
3) great that it allows custom entries, but you can’t import a list, so you’d have to enter thousands of entries manually. DNScloak allows for importing such text files.

Firewall keeps turning off and not compatible with other VPNs
The firewall keeps intermittently turning itself off which is the reason I am hesitant to upgrade. Also it doesn’t seem to allow running another VPN service (forces it’s own VPN services).

Works like a charm!
You know it works, because I can’t access the in-game ads!

Simply the best out there
Does the job neat and perfect. No complaints at all.

Not all ads blocked
Some ads are still showing up in apps. There’s no connection logging feature in Lock Down so I can’t input my custom block.
