Protected from the first minute
A built-in list blocks advertising, trackers, malware and phishing as soon as Warda is installed. Nothing to configure, nothing to import.

The network-wide ad blocker that learns your home
Warda blocks advertising, tracking and dangerous sites for every device of your home — phones, computers, television, game consoles — and learns what your family really needs, without you having to manage lists yourself: you simply switch on the protections you want.

Already at work
Warda is just starting, and already working
Warda is at its beginning, so the figures are still small, but they are real: the sites sent by the Warda boxes and by the team are analysed, then judged harmful or validated clean.
- New sites to analyse
- Judged harmful
- Validated clean
Totals of the 7 days. Figures of the Warda analysis service, updated every 10 minutes.
What Warda does
One box, and the whole home is protected
It learns, you decide
Warda watches the requests of your network and suggests what to block, with its context: which device, just after what. It never blocks on its own.
Made for the family
One profile per person, adapted to their age, with safe search for everyone. Children and teenagers are protected; adults stay free.
Three steps
How it works
Warda runs on a small box of your home (a Raspberry Pi, a virtual machine or Docker) and answers the DNS requests of every device. Your router hands its address to the network; from then on, each request goes through Warda before reaching the Internet.
-
1
Install Warda: a ready image for the Raspberry Pi, a Docker image or a Debian package.
-
2
The assistant detects your router and your network, and asks you to confirm.
-
3
Your devices are protected, and Warda starts learning.
Protection
What Warda protects your home from
From the first minute, for every device of the house — even the TV, the console and the connected objects you cannot install anything on.
Scams and fake sites
Phishing pages, look-alike names such as аpple.com and fake support scams are stopped before the page opens.
Malware and spyware
Infected devices are cut off from their servers, stalkerware is blocked, and a suspicious device goes into quarantine in one click.
Children
A profile for each age, safe search on by default, and the VPNs and proxies used to go around the filter blocked.
Ads and trackers
Advertising, tracking and the telemetry of TVs and objects blocked on every device of the house.
Your network
Encrypted DNS, attacks on the router and the cameras stopped, ports open on the Internet checked every week.
Outside the home Subscription
Phones and laptops keep their rules on 4G and on other Wi-Fi networks, through Warda's online service (beta).
0 €
Free at home
The filter and its protections, for good, on your Raspberry Pi, Docker or Debian.
2 €/ month
Family subscription
Hours of Internet, alerts to the parents, breach watch and protection outside the home. Offered to testers during the beta.
The dashboard
It learns, you decide
Each suggestion comes with its context: the device, the time, the request that came just before. Nothing is blocked without you.
Try it: block or ignore a suggestion.

Privacy
Private by design
Warda works at home: the history of your requests never leaves your network. Its code is open (AGPLv3), and the requests sent to the Internet are encrypted by default.
- Runs at homeOn your Raspberry Pi, virtual machine or Docker server.
- Open sourceFree software under the AGPLv3 licence.
- Encrypted by defaultDNS over HTTPS or TLS to the Internet, validated with DNSSEC.
- No cookie, no trackerNot on this site either: no audience measurement.
- Statistics in plain sightAnonymous statistics, counted once a day: you see what they hold, when the last one was sent and when the next one goes, and turn them off in one click.
- Collective base, if you want itOff by default: only domain names leave, never who asked nor when.
