Your Digital Guardian Against Gambling Addiction
GhostFirewall is a phone app that helps you stop gambling sites and protect your privacy. It blocks harmful websites, ads, and companies that follow you online, with everything handled on the device and nothing sent to our servers.
Many people think information is only taken when they read and accept a privacy policy. In truth, it is gathered in many hidden ways while you scroll, install an app, or tap Accept just to close a pop-up. The text is long, the screen feels urgent, and the main button is easy to tap. Most people press Accept all without reading, and companies rely on that.
The “Accept” trap: These screens are built for speed, not for you to understand them. You may have legally “agreed,” but you were pushed to tap quickly. GhostFirewall blocks tracking tools by default, stops ad and spy websites at the connection level, and keeps checks local so your recovery is not sold as someone else’s product.
Google Play's policies prevent apps like GhostFirewall from being available on their platform.
Google requires apps to allow their tracking systems to monitor what you do. These systems are designed to:
GhostFirewall refuses to participate in this system. We protect your privacy by keeping everything on your device. We do not watch you, sell your information, or let Google monitor your recovery journey. That's why we can't be on Google Play: we put your privacy and recovery ahead of their profit-driven surveillance.
Breaking free from gambling addiction requires support and protection. GhostFirewall provides automatic blocking to help you stay strong when you need it most.
Help protect loved ones by blocking gambling sites and apps on their phone. All checks stay on the device; we do not monitor their activity remotely.
If you do not want your data collected, tracked, or sold to advertisers, GhostFirewall is for you.
Blocks 5,714 gambling domains (on-device list) and can block gambling apps when enabled. Works through your secure connection around the clock.
All checks run locally. Nothing is sent to our servers. We do not follow you online or collect your information.
Smart power management with minimal background usage. Works all day without draining your battery or impacting performance.
Automatic checks block gambling, adult content, ads, trackers, scams, and junk websites, while still allowing educational sites.
Blocks gambling spam, scam texts, and promotional messages before they reach your inbox. Works automatically, 24/7.
When you install a new app, we block Google Analytics, Facebook, Firebase, Crashlytics, AdMob, and Unity Ads by default on your connection. Optional accessibility help can tap “Reject” on many consent pop-ups if you enable it in Android settings.
Silences social, games, and junk alerts. Only important SMS, WhatsApp, and email notifications get through, so you can focus on recovery.
Checks apps every 5 seconds and closes inactive user apps after 10 seconds with no use. Saves battery and may reduce background data use. System and messaging apps stay protected. Requires Usage Access in Settings.
These features sit behind GhostFirewall: automatic blocking of tracking tools, fewer distracting alerts, and closing apps that run in the background. All processing stays on the device; nothing is sent to the cloud for analysis.
When you install a new app, GhostFirewall automatically refuses tracking from these firms, then blocks them through your secure connection and on-phone rules.
| Company | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Tracking | BLOCKED |
| Social | BLOCKED | |
| Google Firebase | Cloud / analytics | BLOCKED |
| Crashlytics | Crash reporting | BLOCKED |

Blocks every alert by default. Only messages from apps you need are allowed: built-in SMS, Google Messages, Samsung Messages, WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, and common email apps.
Checks running apps every 5 seconds. If a user app has had no foreground activity for more than 10 seconds, GhostFirewall closes its background processes. This can affect social, games, browsers, shopping, and entertainment apps, along with any other non-system app that meets the rule. System and messaging apps stay protected.
Blocks harmful texts before they reach your inbox. Available on both Privacy Shield and Gambling Shield plans.
Each message is checked locally. Likely spam is blocked automatically (default: 40% confidence). The feature is on by default. Message text is never uploaded to the cloud.
Privacy: local checks only, anonymous block counts in settings, no rooting or special setup required.

GhostFirewall is built so privacy comes first. All core protection runs only on your phone. We do not run remote servers to inspect your traffic, and we do not sell or share your personal data.
Because GhostFirewall does not collect or store your personal data on external servers, most of your privacy rights under UK/EU law (to see, fix, delete, or move your data) are handled on your phone by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage in Android settings.
GhostFirewall is a self‑control blocking tool. It is not medical, legal, or financial advice, and it does not replace professional treatment for addiction. You remain responsible for your own device security, account security, and compliance with local laws.
While GhostFirewall significantly reduces access to gambling and harmful content, no technical solution can offer a 100% guarantee. By using this software you agree that it is provided on a best-effort basis without any guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free operation.
