Review summary

ShadowNet is praised for its ease of use, strong security, and its ability to show and block suspicious network activity, giving users peace of mind. However, reviewers frequently cite limitations in blocking customization, lack of clarity on what is blocked or which app triggered blocks, and a desire for more transparency and features. Overall, it’s seen as useful and user-friendly, but with notable room for improvement in visibility and customization.

Pros

User-friendly and easy to set up
Provides security and peace of mind by protecting data
Helps monitor network activity and spot unknown DNS connections
Blocks potentially bad requests and suspicious traffic
Simple to navigate and understand what is being blocked

Cons

Limited blocking options and customization (preset lists only)
Inconsistency in results: some users feel there is no visible effect
Unclear which app is blocked or blocked items (lack of blocking details)
Inability to block certain content (e.g., ads from the USA) or customize domain names
Desire for more features and greater transparency about blocked items

2026-01-09	no*****	Can't block advertisement from USA and can't costumize domain name what you want to block if not preset in the list,I can't see any effect and I don't know what I blocked even though told me blocked numbers meaningless. It's not so much that it's insufficient, but rather that it has absolutely no effect.
