Take back control of your personal data with the protection of Guardian Firewall and VPN.

  • Drops randomly

    It’s unfortunate that this app has worsened in the last year. The random drops are from chasing more customers and not investing in infrastructure to support the growth. In its current state would not recommend
  • No app for fire stick

    Works great for my phone. But I was really hoping that I could use this on my fire stick and I can’t. Guardian, get in the Amazon App Store!
  • The Best Customer Support and VPN

    By Trucker RoadDog
    I can honestly say this is one of the best VPNs I’ve used and I have tried them all. I like the fact it gives you a notification when it blocks something and what it blocked. I know it’s working. The customer support is great. They worked with me when I had an issue and they stayed up on it till it was resolved. Give it a try and I bet you’ll think so too. 👍🏻👍🏻
  • Too inconsistent

    I’ve been a subscriber for a few years but I finally canceled my yearly subscription. It constantly turns off w/o any notifications. I always have to check in on it to see if it’s still turned on (who wants to do this?). Multiple times a week my internet stops working and it’s because of this app. I have to reset the configuration every time. It’s just a hassle to manage. Love the app in concept but the execution isn’t there yet.
  • Forgets my login information every time

    I’m not sure how anyone can like this app. It logs me out every single time I have to turn it off . Super frustrating. Next!
  • Good fast network switching, loses login info

    Favorite part of this app is how well it switches between networks when it’s on. It’s basically instant and I can go between multiple WiFi points in the building and cellular and the app reconnects flawlessly every time. What I don’t like is that the app loses my login info, for example if I have to restart my phone or it dies before I can charge it. One feature request: enable / disable VPN based on geofencing or other rules. I use this more to simply have a private VPN at work than to have the blocking features. I’ve found that the blocking features of the app can be aggressive and that apps can perform sub-optimally, so I basically use very generic blockers for FB / Meta and the like, vs. anything related to app reporting. I’ve had no luck getting around blackouts because the providers detect “I’m on a VPN” and I think this goes for just about any VPN these days. I wish there were more detailed descriptions about what the implications are / what kind of data is captured within the default selections Guardian provides for each entry in the blocklist. I.e. “You want to block firebase because xyz.”
  • It works

    I have the eero plan and they just switched over to Guardian. I like the app but I wish they had the same feature as encrypt.me when I’m connected to my Wi-Fi network the vpn will turn off because sometimes my things don’t load.
  • Intermittent only, either blocking and/or reporting

    By synonymist
    Because I can’t prove whether this app is blocking trackers, its reports of blocking are the only evidence I have. Those reports are intermittent at best, but are always rare. My experience with proper firewalls on Android, and with the (sadly degraded) Lockdown app on iOS, is my standard for how such a phone app should function: it blocks connection attempts per a backlist, and reports those events in real time. This app is not doing at least one of those things.
