Editor's Overview

Acutis Firewall is a firewall application developed by phasnox, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.0 weighing in at 7.4 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 7.4 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "phasnox" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Acutis Firewall is a parental control app that protects your family by blocking adult content, malware, and dangerous websites. All filtering happens locally on your device for maximum privacy.

Key Features

Content Protection
• Block adult and pornographic websites with a comprehensive blocklist
• Protect against malware and phishing attacks with real-time DNS filtering
• Optional blocking for gambling sites and social media platforms
• Works across ALL apps, not just browsers

Time-Based Controls
• Set daily screen time limits for specific sites or categories
• Schedule blocking during homework time, bedtime, or family hours
• Choose which days of the week rules apply

Parental Controls
• PIN-protect settings so children cannot disable protection
• One-tap activation with no configuration required
• Auto-start protection when device boots

Privacy First
• All filtering happens on your device - no data sent to external servers
• No analytics, tracking, or data collection
• DNS queries go directly to your system DNS or Cloudflare
• PIN stored with Android's encrypted storage

How It Works

Acutis Firewall creates a local VPN tunnel on your device to intercept DNS queries. When a blocked domain is requested, it returns "not found" - preventing the content from loading. Allowed traffic passes through normally with no slowdown.

Requirements
• Android 10 or higher
• No root required
• No subscription - completely free and open source

Named after Blessed Carlo Acutis, patron of the internet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Acutis Firewall free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Acutis Firewall require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Acutis Firewall safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by phasnox. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Acutis Firewall?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
