What is the best Dns-Level AdBlocker on Android?

Hi, i was looking for an Android Ad Blocker that is Free and Open Source and i found these ones:

  • DuckDuckGo
  • Rethink
  • DNS66
  • AdGuard

I tried all of them and i do think that the best is Rethink in “DNS (Battery Saver)” mode.

Do you have any other suggestion?

The Private DNS function in Android. ControlD using p2.freedns.controld.com will cover your entire device without the need for an app.

I used dns66 and blokada for years, and then I found out the “private dns” feature. I’m using the adguard server: dns.adguard-dns.com. Doesn’t need any additional software, or vpn configuration. Of course, you look some flexibility regarding what is blocked, but for me it has been working fine (no ads pretty much any app I use).

Idk about an app but I use NextDNS which is basically your own private DNS you can configure with different lists to block ads and such. Costs about £1.99 a month for the basic plan but it works pretty well. Blocks ads on twitch, unfortunately you still get ads on youtube though.

I have only used adguard and it works great

What about time restrictions ? Is it possible for a DNS to restrict all internet access after 8 PM GMT , for example ?

Aww Damn, Appreciate the info brother. :saluting_face:

I have a problem some debits I go to say that “this site can’t be reached” so what do I do if I want to use that site and still block ads

Suddenly the adguard stopped working I don’t know why, the I reddited this and came across this server it is totally life saving for me

:mobile_phone: On Smartphone Android/iOS:

Change Private DNS in Settings to:

dot.tiar.app

is there anything that doesn’t block chrome? There are Manga sites that doesn’t work if I have dns

Wie steht eure meinung zu “dnsforge.de”?

Blokada is the best.

Doesn’t block anything for me . You set the DNS in private DNS under network>private DNS , right ?

Is it best vs adguared dns?

Thanks a lot mate! Adguard wasn’t blocking my app drawer ads in HyperOS. with ControlID and turning off the show in app content setting, the ads have disappeared. You’re a lifesaver!

its so powerful than dns.adguard it blocked the ads on my go to streaming sites

I literally signed in just to thank you !

Thanks a lot, suddenly adguard wasn’t working well, then I found the solution here. It’s perfect

im having problem with the wifi at home. it says the wifi has no internet access when i use this dns but i can use my data without problems
