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.
