Donate

---

You can get all current and future NetGuard pro features (including updates) without Google Play services for the GitHub or F-Droid version by a one time donation of € 0.10 or more. If you donate 7 euros or more, you can activate the pro features on all devices you personally own, else you can activate the pro features one time only.

By donating, some data will be processed and stored, please see the privacy notice (imprint) for which data, for what purposes and what your rights are.

Please note that the Play Store rules do not allow the use of a Play Store purchase outside the Play Store, and the pro features of the Play store version can only be activated with a Play Store purchase.

You can donate with PayPal or a credit card:

€
The development of NetGuard took more than 3,000 hours, so I think a donation of at least € 7 is not too much to ask for. I accept that I can activate the pro functions one time only, even if it concerns the same device, for a total donation amount of less than 7 euros.

Instructions about how to activate the pro features will be automatically sent to your (PayPal) email address. Please make sure it is correct!
