Feature Highlights
Image Filtering
Citadel is trained to look at compatible images and check them for adult content, including provacative content and adult cartoons, with 98% accuracy.
Video Filtering
Citadel is trained to look at compatible streamed videos and determine if they contain adult content, including provacative content and adult cartoons, with 98% accuracy.
Text Filtering
Citadel is trained to understand and classify text into 141 categories, in 44 languages.
Chat Filtering
Citadel is trained to read compatible realtime web chat messages and alert users to language that is sexually suggestive or explicit.
On-Device Filtering
Unlike most filtering software, everything happens on your device. We do not send your private browsing data to servers to be filtered. We don't need it, we don't want it. This also means we're not running a bunch of power-draining servers around the world to do this.
Keyword Censor
Citadel has a customizable keyword censor to "bleep" out unwanted language without entirely blocking resources.
URL Filtering
Of course, Citadel has one of the oldest and most effective tools, URL exempting and blocking. However, Citadel bolsters this proven technology with a powerful filter syntax for more versatile filtering.
Hands-Free
Citadel is good at what it does. Configure it to block what you want to block and rest assured that it's working. A filter that puts you to work is making you do it's job. Citadel works for you.
Browser Independent
Citadel filters HTTP and HTTPS traffic from any and all software, not just browsers, and no browser extensions are required.
Full Download Speed
Citadel uses a high-performance driver built in-house to ensure that all our powerful filtering doesn't degrade your download speed. In our testing on gigabit internet, our driver causes zero degridation of downstream performance.
Goodbye Dark Web
Many content filters can be defeated by dark web technology, such as the TOR browser. Citadel cannot. In fact, Citadel prevents this and any other kinds of proxy-based bypasses from working system-wide.
App Connection Control
Citadel enables you to choose specific software to filter, or capture all software to filter with exemptions, as well as drop any kind of web traffic from any software.
