Hunter's comment
Tired of being the product but not able to prevent your iPhone from constantly communicating with Google, Amazon, FB, and more from ads in apps?
With Lockdown these days are finally over.
Lockdown is a basic, open-source iOS firewall focused mostly on improving your privacy.

This is an excellent solution to block iOS updates, really where it becomes interesting is that Lockdown offers a custom configuration to place the urls that we see blocked.
privacy is an important aspect now a days and even after disabling various options its not completely stops. Glad to see that this LockDown exist and it can completely block the access and we can be sure that now its safe. This app is highly needed. Great hunt to save privacy.
It's hard to stay private these days with our phones constantly telling on us.
With this awesome tool, iPhone users will be free from all the disturbing and annoying ads
It is interesting that LockDown works on-device; without connecting to any sever.
Is there any indication when irbid would be available for MacOS? @fknmayhem
Negative. I'm guessing they will first focus on the Android app since they seem a clean, ethical company the Android niche is more interesting for user base growth (and thus future possible funding).
Plus macOS comes with built-in firewall. It isn’t that hard to configure the known GOOG/AMZN/FB urls in it, but the internet becomes rather unusable. Am still on second coffee of the day only so rather lazy. :P
I think it was the Verge who had a contributor recently testing out online life without the big 4 and the report was damning in experience.
This is a great tool to safeguard our privacy because nowadays it's very difficult. OS and apps are stealing the information and blocking them completely seem to be impossible. I liked this idea about self-blocking of whatever we want to. Nice find.

Good news and help for iphone users.I don't have my personal iphone but I can recommend this to my friends who can use this for their data security
I don't use an iPhone. But resteemed because more people should know about this. It's open source. So it can be audited ad improved with much ease. You can analytics companies away. Great to see that Mac, PC and Android versions are coming.

Need that android version soon. Like ASAP soon. When I got my droid I didn't check LineageOS situation, it has an in-screen fingerprint. I may need to wait for months, maybe even a ear before I get LineageOS for it. :(
