What is PEShield?

PEShield puts you back in control of your Android device. Everything runs locally: no forced Google account, no telemetry, no ads, no data selling. It even works on de-Googled hardware. At its core is a local Network Guard, a DNS-firewall that shows exactly which app talks to which servers and blocks trackers, ads and telemetry on-device, with nothing sent to any remote VPN server. Alongside it runs PEShieldAgent, a security assistant that works fully offline and never uploads your data. On top of that PEShield bundles a whole toolkit: app x-ray, PIN and fingerprint app lock, an end-to-end encrypted messenger, a mesh and off-grid mode where devices talk directly without a server, a component scanner that identifies chips from your camera on-device, a code studio that runs JS, HTML and Python and can compile and flash real firmware to microcontrollers, a learn-to-program workbench with a coach, and a digital-world encyclopedia. Built on Kerckhoffs's principle and blast-radius equals one: no master key, every user isolated. Free, no ads, open source. Beta, and looking for co-developers.
