Illustration. No AshtaLok server sits anywhere in this path.

Three levels. One tap.

Balanced suits most people.

Recent activity: each blocked server, the app that asked, and the rule that decided

Every block, explained.

What, when, which app, which rule.

Ask me anything.

Straight answers.

Does AshtaLok block ads in the YouTube app?

No. The YouTube app can't be filtered on a phone that isn't rooted, and AshtaLok doesn't claim otherwise. Share a video to AshtaLok's private browser instead, and it plays there without ads.

Is AshtaLok a VPN?

It uses Android's VPN setting so it can run on your phone, but it doesn't send your traffic to an AshtaLok server or change your location.

Does it block every ad?

No blocker does, and AshtaLok won't claim to. It blocks ads and trackers from the servers on its lists and yours, and shows you each block.

When can I get it?

When testing on each platform is finished. There's no release date yet.

Quiet pages. Quiet apps.
