ATTENTION!

By downloading and installing this app from the APK you accept the term that if the functionality of the app varies from the official download pages (Google Play and App Store), you waive any claims. You further accept full responsibility for checking for and installing updates.

Please note that APK installation is not compatible with Play Store installation. This means that the app can only be updated from the same source it was installed from.

Also, when updating the application through the APK, we strongly recommend that you make backups. In case of any problems, you can reinstall the application and recover your data.

ATTENTION!

Starting in 2024, developers will have to pay even more to bypass the Microsoft Defender warning window on Windows. If you know why you need TeleGuard, just make a few extra clicks when you first install it from the official website.

Hardly anyone thinks about the fact that the lack of a Microsoft Defender warning window via an unknown source means the developer has to pay a tidy sum to third-party certification companies whose prices and requirements are regularly increased.

Both Linux and Apple macOS provide similar tools for free and directly.

An alternative to buying a CodeSign certificate would be to host the application on the Microsoft Store platform, which is inextricably linked to telemetry and the collection of Windows user data.

As an independent company developing software focused on privacy and online security, we consider this to be merely an artificially created system that serves the purposes of Microsoft and NOT the end user.

Based on the above, we decided to refuse to purchase “empty air” and provide TeleGuard “as is”, leaving the choice to the user.

MS Windows (8.0+)

Two options are available for installation. An installation from the Snap Store (recommended) with the benefit of an automatic update, or from a deb package with external dependencies downloaded from public locations (in this case the application can only be updated manually).
