Access Unlocked: Internet without borders

Stay connected to independent news — wherever you are

Congratulations! You’ve found the gateway to an open internet. DW — Germany’s international broadcaster — offers safe and simple tools to access information, even if websites are blocked in your region.

DW – Access

DW App

Play it safe with our lightweight Android app: "DW Access" avoids censorship automatically, doesn't drain your data and can be used offline, while DW content is still fully available. Users can also share content as PDFs.

  • Download the APK file from alternative app stores and right here on dw.com
  • Your browser may show a security warning – this is normal for direct downloads. It’s nothing to worry about and you can proceed
  • Allow your browser to install apps from unknown sources when prompted (you can disable this after installation)
  • Open the downloaded file and follow the installation steps

Note: The Android app isn't available on Google Play to ensure accessibility in censored regions.

  • Go to browser settings, then to the "Bridges" menu, select "Use a bridge" and then "Request a new bridge"
