What's new v0.9.0
- New: custom DNS for Fauxx. If Pi-hole, NextDNS or a VPN app blocks the tracker domains Fauxx needs to reach, Fauxx can look up the sites it visits with a resolver you choose: encrypted DNS (Quad9, Cloudflare, Mullvad, Google or your own URL) or a plain DNS server by IP address. Only Fauxx's own traffic uses it. For your own URL you can give the server's IP and, for a self-hosted resolver with a self-signed certificate, skip the certificate check: Fauxx then trusts the first certificate it sees
About Fauxx - Privacy Through Deception
Fauxx is an open-source privacy tool that protects you by generating diverse, believable synthetic browsing activity in the background. By feeding data brokers and ad-tech platforms plausible off-demographic decoy activity that reads as real people, Fauxx makes your genuine behavioral signal indistinguishable from convincing fakes — deception, not easily-filterable noise.
This is the FULL version distributed via F-Droid and GitHub. It includes ad profile pollution, which is not available in the Play Store version due to Google's policies.
HOW IT WORKS
Fauxx runs quietly in the background and performs diverse browsing activities across many topic categories — searches, page visits, DNS lookups, a stable per-persona device identity, and ad profile pollution. The goal is to bury your real interests under a stream of coherent, believable decoy activity so that data brokers can't tell which "you" is real.
FEATURES
- Diverse search queries across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Yandex on topics far from your real interests, with per-engine opt-out
- Varied website visits across dozens of content categories
- Ad profile pollution — loads ad-heavy pages to inject off-demographic ad signals
- Stable per-persona device identity: one coherent User-Agent plus matching navigator values per synthetic persona, not random rotation (plus canvas fingerprint noise)
- DNS query diversification
- Smart targeting engine with 3 layers of demographic distancing
- Synthetic persona rotation — adopts a new fake identity every week
- Poisson-distributed timing that mimics natural human browsing patterns
- Full audit log with CSV/JSON export
- On-device encryption for all personal data (SQLCipher + Android Keystore)
- No accounts, no cloud storage, no analytics, no telemetry
OPTIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC TARGETING
Tell Fauxx about yourself (age, gender, interests, profession, region) and it will generate decoy activity that's maximally different from your real profile. All demographic data stays encrypted on your device. Skip the setup entirely for uniform, unbiased decoys.
PRIVACY FIRST
- All data stays on your device
- No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers
- Fully open-source — inspect the code yourself
- Clear All Data option to wipe everything instantly
