I've enjoyed using an app for iOS that installs a "VPN" which is configured to run a local DNS proxy. It gives you a log of every request on the phone and allows you to block domain wildcards. It's fascinating to peer into the dark alleys of your iPhone.

Which app did you use? I’ve done similar things with Charles and Burp Suite.

  It's this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adblock/id691121579 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adblock/id691121579 I've got it on my list to play with Charles proxy. I'm curious to peer into a few of the requests if possible. But I've read that, especially with mobile apps, they may use cert pinning which defeats something like Charles.

    Adblock? Don't they allow "approved ads"?

      It's an unfortunate naming coincidence. The app I linked has no affiliation with that Adblock

    Is this a VPN or just a dns? Will it play nice with my vpn?
