Guard Hero

Guard Hero is a privacy protection ecosystem for blocking trackers, stopping ads, and protecting online privacy. It is built around real-time learning rather than static lists, and it applies that approach across browser use and network-wide protection.

The browser product, EagleEye, is a free AI-powered extension that blocks more than 93,000 tracking domains using EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and community blocklists. Its listed features include lightning-fast blocking with sub-3ms latency, AI-powered threat detection, real-time statistics and analytics, and zero tracking. The page also presents real-time tracker blocking, lifetime statistics, and optional telemetry for full transparency about what is and is not collected.

Guard Hero also offers OPi-one, a free network appliance for complete network-wide privacy protection. OPi-one combines an OpenWRT-based operating system for embedded devices, the Pi-hole DNS blocking engine, a Guard Hero web dashboard, and a local AI model for intelligent blocking. It is described as compatible with Orange Pi and Raspberry Pi hardware, and a 7GB download image is available. A third product, HomeDefender, is listed as coming soon and is described as a complete home network security suite for families with plug-and-play hardware, network-wide protection, parental controls, IoT device security, and 24/7 monitoring and alerts.

The site says Guard Hero is free to use and that no credit card is required. It presents the current offerings as part of a complete privacy protection ecosystem and names Chrome, Firefox, and Edge for EagleEye.
