By adblock support, I mean editing the host file with adaway and such. The VPN method for adblocking prevents usage of another VPN.
Work in progress. No ETA. Won’t be ready anytime soon. May not be ready until a future version of Android. In the meantime some of the suggestions in other comments are ok.
Add Quad9 to you private DNS and use Mull with UBlock Orgin and/or Bromite as your browser. Also, as /u/guyfawkes070476 suggested you can use a VPN too like Mullvad, IVPN, or ProtonVPN as an extra layer.
I would suggest using Mullvad VPN, they have a built-in ad blocker and its $5 a month
i would like it but idrt it would be a thing, we have to see
+1 on non-VPN approach.
Check out TrackerControl. Research project out of Oxford investigating how prevalent and pervasive app data collection is. While it uses a loop-back VPN and doesn’t meet the requirements, I find the ability to control access to ad/analytics/fingerprinting/etc at an individual app level very powerful (and don’t have to pay a service). I have found some apps (i.e. banking) won’t run without access to the analytics, etc… TC allows much more granular control without allowing data to those services for all apps by whitelisting DNS domains at a global level.
It would be wonderful if there was a way to have this level of granularity and control w/o a VPN.
Thank you for your hard work.
What is mull tand how do I get it? Ty
What is the best vpn on f-droid or Google play?
but don’t you need an account for nextdns? Can’t they track your dns queries and link it to your account?
Do a web search for Mull Browser.
Mullvad, IVPN, or ProtonVPN
Not sure why I need to repeat this but that would be Mullvad, IVPN, or ProtonVPN. Use a search engine and do your research to see which VPN fits your needs and threat model
Use nordvpn apk direct from site and bypass app stores.
There is so much to research it gets confusing.tyvm
