Blokada is an open source privacy app suite with ad blocking, parental controls, and VPN options. Its products cover different needs: Blokada 5 blocks ads, trackers, and malware across apps and browsers without root or jailbreak, while Blokada 6 provides cloud-based ad blocking, encrypted private DNS, multi-device management, and web monitoring. Blokada Family adds device access controls, activity monitoring, safe search, malware protection, and blocking for social media and trackers. Blokada Plus uses WireGuard to encrypt network activity and hide an IP address, with up to five active devices at once. It works on platforms that support the WireGuard app, using a VPN profile generated in the web dashboard. Blokada lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and browser extensions. Blokada 5 is listed at 0.00 USD per free for Android 5 or newer; Blokada Plus costs 5.00 EUR per month, charged monthly in advance by credit card. The terms offer a seven-day money-back guarantee, except for cash payments and App Store purchases. The site says it does not track or share network activity; its privacy policy says personal data is stored in the EU and shared with service providers for stated purposes.
