Web Shield Protection
True Protection by Jag includes a powerful Web Shield that blocks access to malicious, phishing, and fraudulent websites in real-time, protecting you before you even load a dangerous page.
How Web Shield Works
When you navigate to any website, the Web Shield checks the URL against multiple data sources:
- Local Blocklist: A frequently updated database of known malicious URLs stored on your device for instant lookups.
- Cloud Reputation Check: URLs are verified against our cloud database powered by JagAI for real-time threat intelligence.
- Phishing Detection: Analyzes page content and structure to identify phishing attempts that mimic legitimate websites.
- SSL Certificate Validation: Warns you about websites with invalid, expired, or suspicious SSL certificates.
Web Shield Features
- Safe Search Integration: Flags dangerous links directly in search engine results.
- Download Protection: Scans files as they download and blocks malicious payloads.
- Anti-Phishing: Detects fake login pages for banking, email, and social media sites.
- Cryptojacking Blocker: Prevents websites from using your computer to mine cryptocurrency without your consent.
Managing Web Shield Settings
Access Web Shield settings through Settings > Web Shield. You can add trusted websites to an allowlist if a legitimate site is incorrectly blocked. You can also configure the strictness level from Standard to Aggressive depending on your browsing habits.
