HOW IT WORKS

Acutis Firewall creates a local VPN tunnel on your device to intercept DNS queries. When a blocked domain is requested, it returns "not found" - preventing the content from loading. Allowed traffic passes through normally with no slowdown.

- Social Media: Major social platforms (optional)
- Custom Lists: Add your own domains to block
