I've been doing this on a Streisand created VPN server : https://github.com/jlund/streisand https://github.com/jlund/streisand and use most of the same lists (though I've had to remove a few things from "Someone that cares" and I've also had to add a few things - I target apps too so I nuke some specific to mobile apps that are likely not in those lists).
The reasons:
* Block adverts in native mobile apps
* Block adverts in mobile web browsing
* Create a single connection for the mobile (reduce exposure to latency of new connections to different servers)
* VPN connection keep-alive means I seldom reconnect
* Side effect of mitigating risk of my telco screwing with my traffic or excessively logging metadata
It works really, really well.
I'm sure someone will say "battery!" but the cost of mobile adverts on batteries far outweighs the cost of connecting to a VPN.
This is effectively adblock for mobile that works for all apps and websites.
