Chennai, India · press@tacuns.net

Ramki Gajendran is a Network Security TAC Engineer with 1.6+ years of hands-on experience troubleshooting enterprise-grade Next-Gen Firewalls for global Fortune 500 customers. Based in Chennai, India, he founded TacUNS™ in 2026 to bring the same level of network security protection — used by large enterprises — to everyday Android users for free. His flagship app, TacUNS Firewall & Ad Blocker, blocks ads, trackers, malware, and scam domains entirely on-device, with no signup or data collection. Built solo over 18 months, it draws from his enterprise firewall background to deliver protection traditionally locked behind corporate budgets.

The App

TacUNS Firewall

One-liner (140 chars)

Free Android firewall, ad blocker & per-app DNS control. No root, no signup, 100% on-device. Made in India.

Short Description (2–3 sentences)

TacUNS Firewall is a free Android security app that blocks ads, trackers, malware, and scam domains entirely on-device. It uses 84,000+ community-curated threat domains, offers per-app Wi-Fi and Mobile Data control, and requires no root or signup. Built solo by a network security engineer in Chennai, India.

Long Description

TacUNS Firewall gives your Android phone the same DNS-layer protection that enterprise networks use to block ads, malware, phishing, and trackers — completely on-device, with no cloud server, no account, and no subscription.

Built by a Network Security TAC Engineer who spends his working day troubleshooting Next-Gen Firewalls for Fortune 500 companies, TacUNS Firewall applies the same threat-intelligence principles to your personal device. It blocks 84,000+ domains across five curated global threat lists and lets you toggle each list independently — so you choose the level of protection you want.

Beyond blocking, TacUNS Firewall gives you per-app control over Wi-Fi and Mobile Data independently, a real-time 0–100 Security Posture Score, a 24-hour DNS activity timeline, a live world map of where your apps connect, geo-blocking for high-risk country TLDs, scheduled blocking for parental control, and a 7-day exportable privacy report. All of this runs entirely on your Android device — your data never leaves your phone.

From the Founder

Quotable Statements

The same firewall protection Fortune 500 companies pay millions for should not be locked away from the people who need it most — everyday Android users.
Ramki Gajendran, Founder of TacUNS™
UPI scams have stolen ₹1,000+ crores from Indians. The protection layer to stop these scams already exists in enterprise networks — we just brought it to consumer phones.
Ramki Gajendran, Founder of TacUNS™
TacUNS Firewall is privacy maximalism by design. No cloud servers. No accounts. No data collection. Your phone, your rules.
Ramki Gajendran, Founder of TacUNS™
I built this on nights and weekends for 18 months while working full-time. It's possible to build serious cybersecurity tools as a solo indie developer in India.
