Replace surveillance-by-default with privacy-by-default across your entire device.
This is a premium feature for iOS users.
Unlike many browsers that offer VPNs which mask a user’s IP address, Brave’s Firewall + VPN, powered by Guardian, offers enhanced security and privacy by encrypting and protecting anything users do while connected to the Internet.
Once users subscribe, there is a setting to enable the firewall in the app. With this launch, we are offering users a firewall and VPN that not only work in Brave for iOS, but also in any other app they use on their iPhone and iPad. This empowers users to take action at the network level over unwanted surveillance. This powerful combination allows people to take back control of their own data and browse the Web more safely and securely.
It is available for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, and users can purchase this via In-App Purchase from the Brave iPhone/iPad app. The firewall can be used on up to 5 devices a user may have. Brave users on iOS can now take advantage of this new feature, with availability on other Brave platforms to come later this year.
The addition of Brave Firewall + VPN strengthens our privacy-first commitment to our browser users. A firewall forms a security barrier between your iPhone / iPad and the Internet to keep you safe and protected online. With this launch, we are offering users a firewall and VPN that not only work in Brave, but also in any other app they use on their iPhone/iPad. This empowers users to take action at the network level over unwanted surveillance.
Brave users on iOS can currently take advantage of this new feature, with availability on other platforms to come later this year.
This firewall is a premium feature which delivers more functionality than standard or free VPNs, and it is available for purchase. It is available for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. The firewall can be used on up to 5 devices a user may have.
For now, users can purchase this via In-App Purchase from the Brave iPhone/iPad app. Note that the use of Apple’s In-App Purchase functionality means that no user billing information is ever exchanged.
Buying Brave Firewall + VPN with BAT is currently not an option, but we are actively working on making this available in the future.
Brave’s commitment to privacy and security led us to offer the firewall so that our users could benefit from all-around protection. We’re also addressing the need for one of the most requested features from our user base over the past years.
When reviewing various options for this feature, Guardian stood out as the preferred partner due to its strong stance on protecting user privacy, its performance, and its traffic accountability. Guardian fulfilled our requirements for a trusted and reliable firewall and VPN feature.
