ENCLAY: Antispyware & Firewall

ARPSyndicate

About this app

ENCLAY is an on-device Android firewall designed to protect your device from stalkerware, spyware, banking trojans, cryptominers, infostealers, and other malicious infrastructure.

ENCLAY uses Android’s VPN Service API to create a local VPN interface on your device. This allows ENCLAY to monitor network connections made by apps and block connections to known malicious IP addresses, domains, and TLS fingerprints before the connection is established.

The VPN connection is processed locally on the device. ENCLAY does not route your traffic through a remote VPN server, provide anonymous browsing, hide your IP address, or sell or share your network traffic with third parties.

ENCLAY focuses on stopping malicious software that is already present on a device from communicating with its operators. This is particularly important for stalkerware and spyware, which may appear to function normally while quietly sending collected messages, location data, credentials, or other information to remote infrastructure.

ENCLAY also includes protections against tampering with the application itself, helping ensure that its security controls remain active.

**Key features:**
• On-device firewall using Android VPN Service
• Blocks malicious IP addresses and domains
• Blocks known malware and spyware infrastructure
• TLS fingerprint-based connection blocking
• Protection against stalkerware, spyware, banking trojans, cryptominers, and infostealers

ENCLAY uses VPN Service solely to provide its local firewall and network-security functionality.
