Blokada is a free VPN-style protection tool focused on ad blocking and privacy. It uses a built-in WireGuard VPN along with an internal blacklist system to automatically stop ads, trackers, and harmful content on both apps and websites. The result is a cleaner browsing experience and better protection for your internet traffic—especially when you want to block unwanted material.

The app also supports custom whitelisting and DNS switching. It’s designed to have minimal impact on battery, and it works without root access. Please note: Blokada keeps a persistent blocking notification enabled and blocks the use of other VPN apps while it’s running.

Key Features

Ad Blocking

Blokada’s main job is removing ads across all applications, not just web browsers. This includes interruptions in videos, games, and other apps, helping pages load faster and reducing clutter on your device.

DNS Changer

You can switch between different DNS servers to strengthen privacy and potentially improve speeds. Choose from a list of trusted DNS options or set your own, depending on how you want to balance security and performance.

Blokada Plus

Blokada Plus is the premium add-on that provides a VPN connection for extra protection. It helps hide your IP address and can also help you access geo-restricted content.

Custom Filters

Create and manage your own blocklists and allowlists so the filtering behavior matches your preferences and real-world needs.

Battery and Data Savings

By reducing unnecessary ads and limiting background activity, Blokada can help save battery power and reduce mobile data usage, which is especially useful for users on smaller data plans.

Open Source

Because Blokada is open source, it offers greater transparency and allows the community to support and improve the project.

No Root Required

Unlike many powerful ad-blocking solutions, Blokada works without requiring root, making it easier to use while helping protect device security.
