TacUNS: SI Firewall & Security — no-root Android firewall, network monitor and SI / AI privacy guard.
Apps on your phone connect to the internet in the background, sending data to advertisers, trackers and SI & AI companies. TacUNS checks every app before it goes online. Ads, trackers, phishing sites and spying apps stop at the gate. No root. No account. No sign-up.
▪ WHY TACUNS USES VPNSERVICE (VPN PERMISSION)
TacUNS is a device security app. Its core feature, the firewall, needs Android's VpnService:
• It creates a LOCAL VPN on your phone so TacUNS can see which app opens each connection and block or allow it.
• It is not a remote VPN. Your traffic is not sent to any TacUNS server, and it does not hide your IP address or change your location.
• Allowed website look-ups go only to the DNS server you choose (Google by default, or Cloudflare or your own), encrypted with DNS over HTTPS by default. Blocked look-ups are answered on the phone.
• TacUNS cannot read inside secure (HTTPS) connections, messages or passwords. Nothing is collected or sold.
• Before turning on, TacUNS explains this and asks for your consent. Android then asks you to allow the VPN.
Features that need VpnService: the app firewall (Wi-Fi/mobile), ad, tracker and phishing blocking, country blocking, schedules, Lockdown, Safe Search, Activity logs, SI & AI Radar, ExfilMeter, Agent mode and Strict mode.
▪ HOME
• 1-tap protection switch and safety checks.
• Live and recent activity, allowed or blocked.
• Warnings when blocking is paused, Watch-only or Lockdown is on, plus a guided tour.
▪ PROTECT — BLOCK ADS, TRACKERS & PHISHING
• Protection lists and your own websites, with wildcards.
• Fake-website shield: warns of look-alike sites ("arnazon.com" vs "amazon.com").
• Block by country ending (like .cn), and schedules for bedtime, study or work.
• Lockdown: cut the internet for all apps except essentials. Watch-only mode lets you test rules first.
• Safe Search with an optional YouTube restriction; block script.google.com and sites.google.com.
• Anti-DNS bypass and Strict mode.
• DNS choice: Google, Cloudflare or custom, with an encrypted (private) DNS option and a backup server.
▪ APPS
• Block or allow installed and system apps on Wi-Fi or mobile data; bulk select.
• Keep to known places: new destinations need your OK.
• SI & AI Agent mode: keep SI & AI apps to known places and cap daily uploads.
▪ ACTIVITY
• Which app connected where, when and how much data, and whether it was blocked or allowed.
• You choose how long history is kept, or turn it off.
• 1-tap rules, Smart Suggestions and a mobile data cost estimate.
▪ SECURITY — BUILT FOR THE SI & AI ERA
• TacUNS SI & AI Radar: apps that sent data to SI & AI companies in the last 7 days; block them in 1 tap.
• Agent Powers: an alert when an app gains screen control or device-admin rights.
• TacUNS ExfilMeter: live and daily uploads per app, with daily caps.
• TacUNS TrapLink: catch apps reading your notifications.
• TacUNS PacketTruth: spot traffic made by hacking tools.
• Proof log of protection changes (never the sites you visit), plus safety tips.
▪ SELF-DEFENCE & ALERTS
• Screenshots and screen recording of TacUNS screens are blocked. On Android 14+, SI/AI agents and remote-control apps can't read TacUNS or flip its switches, while screen readers still work.
• App Lock: passphrase, recovery code and screen lock.
• Daily summary, and an alert if another VPN takes over.
• Start on boot, Always-on VPN, backup and restore, and 14 languages.
▪ PRIVACY
No ads, no analytics, no account. Your rules and history stay on your phone.
