Private VPN & Network Privacy
Your personal VPN server with Unbound DNS and Pi-hole ad blocking. Complete privacy and security under your control.
Pi-hole: Network-Wide Ad Blocking
Powerful network-wide ad blocker and tracker protection that works for every device automatically
Pi-hole runs as a local DNS service that filters queries from any device on your network. Whenever any device tries to contact a known ad server or malicious tracking domain, Pi-hole blocks that request automatically.
The Results:
- ✓ Webpages load without dozens of ads and spyware scripts
- ✓ Apps can't send your data to tracking companies
- ✓ Smart appliances calling analytics platforms are silenced
- ✓ Works for every device and every app automatically
By eliminating tracking domains, Pi-hole significantly reduces the amount of data about your online activities that leaves your network. Those pervasive web trackers and ad networks are blocked from phoning home.
Security Layer
Stops many malware and phishing domains if they're on blocklists
No Profiling
Prevents behind-the-scenes data collection and user profiling
Faster Loading
Pages load faster without ads
Less Data
Save bandwidth and mobile data
Mobile Protection
Works through VPN on the go
Pi-hole has a web dashboard where you can see stats and customize settings, but it runs quietly in the background making your network faster and quieter.
Being Transparent About Privacy
We believe in being upfront with you. Our solutions provide excellent privacy protection for everyday use - blocking ads, trackers, encrypting your traffic, and keeping your data local. For most people, this is more than enough.
What We Provide:
- ✓ Pi-hole: Blocks ads and trackers network-wide
- ✓ Unbound DNS: Private DNS resolution - no ISP snooping
- ✓ Personal VPN: Encrypted tunnel to your home from anywhere
- ✓ Local Storage: Your footage and files never leave your property
For True 100% Anonymity
If you need complete anonymity where even your home IP address is hidden from websites, you'll need additional tools like Mullvad VPN (a privacy-focused commercial VPN) or Tor (The Onion Router). These route your traffic through third-party servers, hiding your origin.
Our Premium Package includes 5 years of Mullvad VPN for those who want this extra layer of anonymity on top of our privacy stack.
Unbound Security & Privacy
In today's world of constant connectivity, privacy and secure access are paramount. That's why LocalLockdownLV sets up a personal VPN (Virtual Private Network) server for you as part of our solution, combined with advanced DNS-based protections for truly unbound privacy.
Unlike commercial VPN services, which bounce your data through company-owned servers, your personal VPN lives on your own LocalLockdownLV device in your home. This means you are the only one in charge of it – no third-party can spy on or restrict your traffic.
Your Personal VPN Benefits
On untrusted networks like airport or café Wi-Fi, a lot of your data (DNS queries, web traffic, etc.) could be intercepted by attackers or snoops. But if you enable your VPN, all your data is scrambled (encrypted) inside the tunnel, so anyone trying to listen in will see nothing useful.
It's as if you're virtually sitting at home on your secure network, even when you're not. This guards your passwords, financial info, and browsing activity from prying eyes.
Through the VPN, you can securely access devices and services at home. This is huge for convenience – it's like carrying your home network in your pocket.
What You Can Access:
- 📹 View your security cameras live from anywhere
- 🎬 Stream videos from your Jellyfin server
- 📁 Fetch files from your NAS storage
- 🛡️ No need to open insecure ports to the internet
Because your traffic exits to the internet via your home ISP, you will appear to websites as just a regular residential user. Streaming services that often block known VPN servers won't flag your connection, since your home's IP address is unique to you.
What This Means:
- • No "VPN blocked" errors on streaming services
- • Your connection looks "normal" to websites
- • Websites can't easily throttle VPN users
- • Privacy without the usual inconveniences
Many commercial VPNs have questionable privacy practices – some log your activities or inject ads, and you have to implicitly trust their operators. With our self-hosted VPN, no one is in the middle.

Unbound DNS: Complete Privacy
We deploy Unbound DNS in conjunction with Pi-hole, creating a completely private and "unbound" DNS resolution system. Normally, even with a VPN, your DNS lookups might go to public servers that can log what domains you're querying.
Unbound solves this by acting as a recursive DNS resolver on your own device. It directly queries authoritative servers, cutting out the middleman. No external DNS service sees your queries.
DNS Privacy
Your internet traffic is not just encrypted, but also anonymized at the DNS layer. Nobody can easily tell what websites you're looking up because you're not relying on ISP or public DNS servers that log everything.
Security Benefits
Guards against DNS poisoning attacks, especially when traveling. You're using your own trusted resolver instead of potentially compromised public DNS servers.
