Do Not Track

I go through phones a lot and this is the 1st app I make sure is installed. Also has WORKING option to auto-run that actually auto runs unlike many other apps I tried that for whatever reason end up off and I don’t know it. So it’s nice every time I check this is always on. No annoying pop up’s or adds just a RARE legitimate app that works great !! But also offers even more protection for a couple dollars if you decide to upgrade which after you see who and just how much we are being tracked not a bad investment if you’re sick of basic privacy invasions. They don’t force it down your throat either. Also, Not only can you see the sites it blocks, you can easily add your own, modify how strict it is or isn’t, and what’s great(but super weird) is you can see sites like TikTok, instagram, and a bunch of other super popular sites I literally NEVER visit or use EVER that are blocked from trying to track me.

I consider myself pretty highly tech savvy. Not a master in cyber security/online privacy/Tor/etc., but I try to learn as much as I can every day, and I think I’m somewhat knowledgeable. but I had no idea the extent of how bad app tracking and data harvesting and just the general manipulation and tricky that goes into every single thing we do online every single move we make opening an app everything if you do anything on your phone and then go to this app while it’s turned on you’ll see it blocked a tracker… for like pretty much everything.. it’s CRAZY. Why haven’t I heard of anything else like this? Why is there nothing else like this? (as far as I know)… and if there is, what are they? why isn’t this more widely known and in the privacy discussion as much as a VPN or whatever. This strikes me as so much more useful that most privacy tools. love it ….

This app uses a local VPN connection to actually block trackers (and not just ask them to stop tracking you). Enable the system setting but definitely use Do Not Track to stop your device from sending ANY data to these trackers. Without DNT and using network analysis tools, I can verify that these trackers are still transmitting data that can be used to identify and track you across apps. Once DNT is enabled, all of these connections are blocked and your device is effectively hidden from these data collectors. IMHO, DNT is a necessity for your iPhone/iPad and should the absolute first app you install when setting up a new device.
