About Acutis Firewall
Acutis Firewall is an on-device content-filtering and parental-control app for Android. It uses a local VPN tunnel to inspect DNS requests and can block domains categorized as adult content, malware, or phishing. Optional filters cover gambling and social media sites. The product describes the filtering as applying across apps, not only in a web browser. Parents can set daily screen-time limits for sites or categories, schedule rules by day and time, and protect settings with a PIN. Protection can start automatically when the device boots. The app says filtering happens locally, with DNS queries sent to the system DNS or a configured external resolver, and no analytics or tracking. It requires Android 10 or later and does not require root. Because the filter works at the domain-request level, the product description does not establish that it can identify every type of content within an allowed site or app. Its features combine domain filtering with time rules and controls intended to prevent casual changes to settings.
