Frequently Asked Questions

How does network scanning work?

Orbyte scans your local Wi-Fi network by probing IP addresses in your subnet. It discovers devices, identifies open ports, and resolves device names via Bonjour/mDNS.

What is DNS Shield?

DNS Shield creates a local VPN on your device that filters DNS queries to block ads, trackers, and malware domains. No traffic is sent to external servers.

Why does the app need VPN permission?

The VPN runs entirely on your device to intercept and filter DNS requests locally. It does not route your internet traffic through any external server.

Why does the app need local network access?

Local network permission is required to discover and identify devices on your Wi-Fi network.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. All scanning, filtering, and data storage happens locally on your device. See our Privacy Policy for details.

The scan didn't find all my devices

Some devices may not respond to TCP probes or Bonjour discovery. Try running the scan again — devices in sleep mode may not be detected.

How do I reset the app?

Go to Settings and use the available reset options, or delete and reinstall the app.
