Advertising
Advertising these days is so intrusive that the Internet is turning into television in a bad sense of the word. Want to watch a video on Youtube? A couple of commercials on the topic and not so – a mandatory program. A romantic evening with a movie on ivi.ru? Prepare for ad blockers worse than on TV during Irony of Fate. In addition, every second site tries to follow you, record every step and then show an ad for lingerie that you accidentally clicked on.
There are many ways out – firewalls, antiviruses, and ad cutters. But I want there to be only one way out – and reliable. And the WebGuard application became such an outlet to a comfortable, pleasant and personal Internet. After installing it, the quality of my personal life has improved.
The Real Benefits of WebGuard: Light and Clean Internet
Judge for yourself: during the trial period of using WebGuard, ads for lingerie with sultry beauties stopped haunting me. I opened the product once on Ozon, and since then she annoyed my wife for months. After installing WebGuard, I chose the Redmond multicooker – I have not seen banners with multicooker yet.
While watching a new movie on ivi, we are no longer distracted by advertising – it simply does not exist! The latest film was found on pirate sites – and there were no commercials. Really – you can just forget about advertising. Also, advertising has disappeared from free applications – and this is a significant reason to use them, a completely different matter. Shareware developers often stuff their brainchildren with advertising without any measure. This issue has now been resolved – at least for the duration of the WebGuard subscription.
Security is on top. For personal photos, as well as for the safety of funds on the Yandex wallet, I felt calmer – WebGuard recognizes spyware and viruses and automatically prohibits downloading. By the way, you can also hide the IP address and choose the country from which I access the Internet, but I don’t need that – thank God, no one seems to be going to “punch me by ip”.
The built-in Firewall works very well – all these endless notifications from applications do not distract me while I work – WebGuard simply does not give them access to the network, where they download all the new instructions for knocking money out of me. On the money: The internet has gotten faster by pruning ads. There is a nuance here: I log in via Wi-Fi on my tablet, I hardly use mobile traffic. It is claimed that WebGuard doubles the speed of loading sites on the mobile Internet, counts and saves traffic. I will try this function closer to the summer outdoors.
Principle of operation
The application creates a virtual private network (VPN), in which it simultaneously acts as both a server and a client. All traffic passes through this network, and advertising does not penetrate your gadget, and your personal data does not leak out to fraudsters. In principle, you don't need to know the intricacies of work, even the design of the application is emphatically ascetic – it runs in the background, protecting you and making surfing more comfortable. The only thing you need to know is that you don't need ROOT rights, WebGuard is installed as a regular application from Google Play.
Subscription
WebGuard is free to download, but works with a paid subscription. I used the app for a trial period and will be happy to return to it shortly – you get used to the comfort quickly.
What are the disadvantages of WebGuard?
- Parental control has not been done yet.
- A built-in firewall cannot do everything that a single application of this type can do.
Outcome
Lightweight and clean mobile internet – as it should be. Unfortunately, in our time you have to pay for the opportunity to enjoy movies, videos, TV shows, communication and purchases associated with the “diseases” of the modern Internet – spyware, annoying advertising, phishing threat and total surveillance. It is already clear that free cheese is in a mousetrap: free applications are crammed with ads, collect statistics, etc.
With WebGuard, we get rid of all the rubbish and annoyance for symbolic money (50 rubles a month, 300 rubles a year), and the same 50 rubles, in fact, fight off to save mobile traffic. You have to pay for comfort – this is normal.
