Aura Shield: AdBlock & DNS VPN

Tired of annoying ads, invasive trackers, and suspicious network traffic draining your mobile battery and monthly data?

Aura Shield is your all-in-one privacy guardian and local DNS ad blocker. Built specifically for Android, Aura Shield creates a fast, secure, on-device DNS tunnel that filters out banner ads, video interruptions, hidden analytics, and malicious domains before they even reach your apps or browser.

Unlike conventional VPN apps that route all your internet traffic through slow third-party proxy servers, Aura Shield processes filtering decisions locally right on your device. Your personal data stays safely on your phone, ensuring fast browsing speed and strong privacy.
