Yes this has been my trouble as well, to the point that sometimes I switch off the VPN with piHole and just rely on a commercial VPN that rolls IPs + adblocker software for those occasions. Imperfect, and expensive comparatively
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoI'm surprised that commercial vpns don't offer an ad blocking option; from their perspective, it's not only a great feature to market, but it reduces their bandwidth costs.
- ridgewell 8y agoTo be perfectly fair, a good chunk of VPN providers primarily see P2P/bulk downloading and streaming traffic. Ordinary web browsing probably isn't a significant part of VPN traffic when you think about it. Agree it would reduce bandwidth costs, but there's also a cost to maintaining such infrastructure.
