- lota-putty 8y agoUse https://zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter/ https://zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter/ without unlocking it.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoThis is awesome, it's just called DNSfilter on F-Droid. :)
- blacksmith_tb 8y agoBut unlike rooting and using Adaway, all the other options on Android act as a VPN, and prevent you from using any other VPN, which makes them less handy.
- robotmay 8y agoI use Blockada on my phone, which runs an adblocker as a local-device VPN; a neat trick to do this without needing to root the phone (although mine is also rooted).
- pestaa 8y agoCan you use the local-device VPN in combination with an actual VPN? Or it is automatically turned off when connecting to a different network?
- zcid 8y agoUnfortunately, you can only use one VPN at a time on Android. I'm not sure how you would go about blocking ads on an unrooted phone while simultaneously using a VPN. Samsung phones do have a workaround using knox, but it requires re-generating a developer key every few months and is too much trouble for most people.
- izietto 8y agoNever heard about that; I'll give it a try
