Your VPN doesn't protect your smart home.Datante does.
You already run a VPN. Maybe a browser ad blocker too. But neither one touches your smart TV, your doorbell, or your thermostat. Those devices stream data to ad networks all day — and your existing tools can't see it. Datante is a managed data firewall for your whole home network. One guided router setup. No software on every device. No DNS tools to maintain.
14-day free trial — no credit card required.
Built by someone who spent 30 years helping the ad industry collect your data. Now building the tool to stop them.
The gap in your privacy stack
VPNs and browser ad blockers leave your smart home exposed.
You've taken the right steps. But VPNs encrypt your traffic — they don't filter what your TV sends to Samsung or what your thermostat sends to Google. Browser blockers never see that traffic at all.
What VPNs and browser ad blockers miss
- Smart TV ACR — automatic content recognition beacons
- CTV ad signals from Roku, Fire TV, Samsung, LG, and Vizio
- IoT telemetry from voice assistants, thermostats, and cameras
- Any device that communicates over Wi-Fi outside the browser
What Datante adds
- Network-level blocking for every device on your home Wi-Fi
- Identified CTV and IoT tracking attempts — by device type
- Dashboard showing what was blocked and where it was headed
- No per-device installs, no VPN conflicts, no blocklist upkeep
Protection across your home network. No per-device installs.
Three steps
Up and running in under five minutes.
Sign up and choose your protection level
Essential, Standard, or Maximum. You can change it any time from your dashboard.
Update your router's DNS settings
We walk you through it step-by-step for popular home routers. You change two DNS server addresses — takes about two minutes.
See blocked tracking activity in real time
Your dashboard shows identified CTV beacons and IoT calls as they're blocked — by device type, in plain language.
Control from anywhere
Pause, allow, or block — from your phone or browser.
No router logins. No technical commands. The phone remote and browser companion put the same controls in your pocket and toolbar.
Phone remote
A lightweight mobile dashboard that travels with you. Pause filtering for your whole home before a guest arrives, or add a custom rule the moment an app misbehaves — no laptop required.
- Pause filtering for 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, or 4 hr
- Custom allow / block rules per domain
- Live protection status at a glance
Browser companion
A browser extension that lives in your toolbar. Spotted a tracker the network filter missed? Block it in two clicks. Need to whitelist a site for one session? Same two clicks.
- Pause your whole home from the toolbar
- Per-domain allow / block without touching the router
- Uses your Datante sign-in — no extra pairing codes
Custom include / exclude rules — available in both
Every household is different. If a smart-home device needs a domain the default rules block, add it to your allow list. If something slips through, block it by name. Rules sync instantly across your network — no reboots, no router config.
Why Datante completes your setup
You already protect your browsing. Now protect the rest of your home.
Your VPN and blocker cover the browser. Datante covers everything else.
Smart TVs, voice assistants, and connected devices bypass your VPN and your browser blocker entirely. They communicate directly over your home network — and they send data to ad networks whether you're actively using them or not.
- Blocks CTV beacons your TV sends even when you're not streaming
- Stops IoT telemetry from voice assistants, thermostats, and cameras
- Runs alongside your VPN — no conflicts, no configuration changes
- Takes effect the moment a device joins your Wi-Fi
All the protection of Pi-hole. None of the upkeep.
Pi-hole, NextDNS, and raw DNS dashboards require ongoing blocklist work, configuration, and troubleshooting. Datante handles all of that — you get a plain-language dashboard and maintained filters without touching a config file.
- Maintained blocklists for CTV, IoT, and smart-home trackers
- Plain-language dashboard — no raw DNS logs to interpret
- Protection-level settings instead of regex patterns and config files
- Filters update automatically — no reboots or manual syncs

“I spent thirty years inside the ad industry watching us collect more data, from more devices, in more invasive ways, every year. I built Datante because I couldn't look at the inside of it anymore.”
