Instead of Blokada
Blokada alternatives
Blokada covers several privacy needs in one suite: Blokada 5 blocks ads, trackers, and malware in apps and browsers without root or jailbreak, while Blokada 6 adds cloud-based blocking, encrypted private DNS, multi-device management, and web monitoring. Blokada Family adds device access controls and activity monitoring, and Plus encrypts network activity with WireGuard on up to five active devices. Blokada spans Android, iOS, desktop systems, the web, and browser extensions, with custom filter lists and a free Android 5-or-newer ad blocker.

A dedicated parental-control app may be a better fit when screen-time schedules, app blocking, location tracking, or children’s web activity are the priority. Blokada Family covers some of that ground, but its broader suite also centers on ad blocking and VPN features; Blokada 5 is Android-only, and Plus costs €5 a month. Compare each alternative’s supported platforms, specific controls, and free or paid terms. Location tools, reports, and schedules vary, and some options cover fewer device types than Blokada. The right switch depends on which family controls matter most and where your household uses them.
