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.
Requirements
• Android 10 or higher
• No root required
• No subscription - completely free and open source
Named after Blessed Carlo Acutis, patron of the internet.
