CIRA Canadian Shield

CIRA Canadian Shield is a powerful Chrome extension providing malware protection and DNS privacy exclusively for Canadians. Utilizing SmartVPN® technology, it blocks over 100,000 threats daily, including malware, viruses, and phishing sites, by filtering access to known malicious domains. All DNS requests are routed through Canadian servers to keep your internet activity private and data localized.

This service is designed by Canadians for Canadians and ensures your personal data is never sold or shared, unlike with traditional ISPs or corporations. The app operates silently in the background with minimal battery impact and provides trustworthy, fast response times due to its Canadian infrastructure. Supported by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), the extension helps build a trusted online environment across Canada.
