Barracuda CloudGen Access is a cutting-edge Zero Trust security solution designed to provide secure, fast, and reliable access to both cloud-native and legacy corporate applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

User Reviews

Barracuda CloudGen Access is praised for effectively blocking ads, trackers, and data mining attempts, thus enhancing online privacy and security for mobile users. Users appreciate its free essential security features and ease of installation. However, multiple reviews report connectivity issues and app conflicts, especially with other VPNs and certain popular apps. The need for frequent restarts due to app crashes and limited customer support also detracts from the experience. Overall, it provides strong ad and tracking blocking but has notable compatibility and usability challenges.

Pros

Effectively blocks ads and trackers across many apps and websites, enhancing privacy and reducing annoying content.
Provides a free security solution that offers essential features to combat cyber threats on mobile devices.
Blocks thousands of data mining requests from various sources, including social media platforms, thus enhancing user privacy.
Easy and quick installation with noticeable data blocking as soon as active.
Useful for protecting against certain cyber threats like IMSI catchers, enhancing phone security.

Cons

Compatibility issues with certain apps like airline apps, T-Mobile apps, and news apps, causing them to malfunction.
Sometimes causes internet connectivity problems, requiring users to deactivate the app to restore access.
Can't run simultaneously with other VPN apps; conflicts with Android's VPN API and private DNS feature may cause issues.
Requires regular restarting to stay active as it can silently crash after continuous use for a few days.
The app’s support and bug report functions appear unresponsive or unhelpful based on user experience.

Recent reviews

Very happy with this service, but not happy that it is now only going to be for enterprise accounts. It would have been nice if when they announced the change to enterprise accounts that they gave recommendations for comparable replacements

Very happy with this app - blocks annoying ads in NYTimes app - appears to work for the Wash Post app also. Unfortunately, this great app is no longer free. 😨
