FaithGuard.app

FaithGuard is a value-based internet security service that helps you live your values online. Instead of treating the web as “anything goes”, FaithGuard filters what reaches your device so you can enjoy a cleaner, safer and more intentional internet experience. Whether you are protecting your children, yourself, your family or your community, FaithGuard works quietly in the background to block content that does not align with your standards and let through what matters most. Key features • Value-based protection: filter out unsafe or unwanted content (e.g. explicit, harmful or distracting sites) according to your chosen settings. • Device-wide safety: protection applies across apps and browsers, not just inside a single browser. • DNS-level filtering: block unwanted domains before they load, for a faster and more consistent experience. • Simple, set-and-forget: quick setup, then FaithGuard runs automatically in the background. • Light and efficient: DNS-based protection designed to have low impact on performance and battery. How FaithGuard works When your device looks up a website (a DNS query), FaithGuard checks whether that domain is safe according to your protection profile. Unsafe or disallowed domains are blocked before a connection is made, which helps keep apps and browsers aligned with your values. FaithGuard focuses on DNS-level decisions and does not inspect the full content of your web pages, messages or files. It controls which domains can be reached, helping create a more focused, distraction-free and safer environment. Use of VPN / VpnService (required disclosure) FaithGuard uses Android’s built-in VPN feature (VpnService) to provide system-wide DNS filtering and protection: • FaithGuard creates a local VPN connection on your device so it can securely handle DNS queries from all apps and browsers. • Only DNS queries are processed through this VPN layer. The rest of your internet traffic (the actual content of websites, videos, messages, etc.) continues to use your normal network connection. • FaithGuard is not a general-purpose VPN. It does not aim to change your IP address, hide your location, bypass geo-restrictions or provide anonymous browsing. • VpnService is required so FaithGuard can apply DNS-based filtering consistently across the entire device, rather than only inside a single app. • DNS requests that pass through FaithGuard’s VPN tunnel are encrypted between your device and our filtering service, in line with Google Play’s VpnService policy and other Developer Program Policies. In short, FaithGuard uses VpnService only as a technical tool to enable value-based DNS filtering and device-wide internet protection.
