Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “ReVanced” Not the developer's name (“Easy Apps (FOSS)”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
- The same certificate signs apps from 20 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
Is the Athena: Firewall DNS AdBlocker APK safe?
