I can't speak for that exact site, but there is a easy way to block ads for the entire TV by changing the DNS server. I use AdGuard https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html, but there are other DNS adblocking servers that might work better for you. On my TV, it blocks banner ads in the few apps I use. You can either change the DNS in the TV's network settings or your router. But keep in mind that changes to your router's DNS server will affect all devices on your network.
DNS Server IPs for AdGuard:
176.103.130.130
176.103.130.131

This confirmed working? I've done this before, but not on this type of device.

This will make youtube stuck
used adguard dns server ip and youtube is working normally, ads blocked
I also use this without any issues however youtube still has its own ads. Anyone able to get rid of those?
I know the title is rather generic and not strictly related to OP7, but I didn't know where else to post, and as this applies to my OP7, I thought to post here.
OP7
OOS 10.0.7
Rooted, Magisk+TWRP
So far I have been using Blokada to stop ads and it's been a bliss, but the limitation of Android to only run one VPN at a time makes using another VPN a compromise.
Recently I decided to use NordVPN, but as the situation stays now, I must choose between really no ads (Blokada), or NordVPN, but rely on Nord's as filtering which isn't really doing much.
Can you recommend me some reliable Adblocking solutions for rooted phone that can work in parallel with NordVPN and do equally good job as Blokada is doing? I need to block apps across the whole system (apps, websites).
P.S. using YouTube Vanced, so that one is sorted.
Energized magisk module, energized.pro for info on which version best suits you
Adguard dns without any app
Isn't DNS ad-blocking problematic? I've been reading that apps and websites can detect ad- locking DNS and act strangely.
Also, some ISP may not like some DNS... What has been your experience with DNS Adblocking so far?
Hi
I'm using OP7T OOS Beta 7 at the moment. I've been using Blokada for a short time and liked it a lot. But a minor was indeed not being able to combine it with a VPN from another provider. So I tried Blokada VPN. I had the feeling that it was working smoother than the VPN I'm always using. And I like the way they handle accounts. So you could use Blokada and VPN together if you pay for the VPN from Blokada.
So what stopped me using it? Having a long time subscription at NordVPN. I'm not using a vpn much lately. My setup is as follows:
- setup private dns under settings-networks-private dns: dns.adguard.com
- setup Adaway from FDroid (you need root)
- setup NordVPN. Beware to use the apk from the website and not from the Play Store. Only the apk from the website has working cybersec functionality. It can be used together with Adaway.
I've no problems using a dns server that blocks ads and malware. Neither do I have problems using hosts file based blocking like Adaway. Besides that I'm using browsers like Privacy Browser, Firefox nightly, Bromite and ungoogled chromium. And I try not to use apps with ads.

Thanks, I made the same setup... Seems less strict compared to Blokada, but this I am sure is just a matter of hosts list in adaway.
Do you recommend any hosts in particular besides the ones already in Adaway?
Also, what kind of apps do you split tunnel in NordVPN? Or no need? Everything working as it should?

Be sure to update hosts file in Adaway regularly. I haven't changed any sources in Adaway. Just the standard setup. It blocks system wide and I don't want it to be too strict. Maybe I want to reach a domain sometimes on some site without hassle. You can start up "dns log"in Adaway and then just use your phone like you always do. It then monitors every request. After a while you can go back to Adaway to view which requests occurred. From there you can block domains that were allowed. Or allow domains that were blocked.
I'm not using vpn a lot lately as I'm in my home country. I use it especially when I'm abroad in less privacy conscious countries. That's why I haven't split anything. But I would just it more, I would split apps like Signal private messenger which are end to end encrypted, and apps that don't seem to work well going through the vpn tunnel.
If you are really concerned about your privacy/ISP, then you should setup VPN always on, or force apps to use vpn tunnel by using a firewall. Although opinions differ on this. To me that's overkill anyway. Do you have apps still showing ads? Or do you mean ads while browsing websites?

Yes, some apps are still showing placeholders. Didn't check all apps...but with Blokada I didn't even have the placeholders. Isn't a big nuisance, but if I can find a solution for it, for the better.
As for vpn usage... i just made some network speed tests... what do you see... it was better over the vpn. For some reason my isp was throttling my mobile (weird). So, I decided to allow NordVPN to always connect to the fastest server.
About tunneling, I was interested if any app misbehaves when on vpn (for example Netflix, or banking apps, if you personally encountered some issue).

I keep apps with ads at a minimum, so probably that's why I haven't any problems like that. I remember having problems setting up Payconiq and Transferwise while on vpn. After finishing the setup, only Transferwise still gives problems while on vpn. I don't have streaming or social apps besides Telegram and Keybase.
That said, if I didn't have a subscription from NordVPN, I would use Blokada and pay for its vpn. Everything in one app. But in case speed is important, probably Nord is a better option.

You may have the same problems you have with VPN apps, I have not had any problems for the moment and I have been using dns adguard for some time ... once there was a problem in the server and they crashed but just set '' automatic dns' 'until the problem is solved. In any case, if you don't have root the only way is vpn or dns
I tried the Magisk module Energized but couldn't make it work. I got an error that it was not compatible although I had systemless hosts installed. Otherwise it seemed promising.
I'm testing another app now: Nebulo. At first sight I like it very much. But don't download it from Google Play cause that's a very limited version. Downloading it from Aurora Droid seems the easiest way. It's like Blokada, but I like it more. You can add packages to block ads. And the choice is large. You have a lot of dns servers to choose from. You can test the speed of the servers. Not just a ping test, but a revolution test. You can use cache to avoid sending the same dns requests over and over to the server; to speed up browsing. And a lot of other settings. Worth taking a look at.
Tried Magisk module energized.pro module on another ROM with success now. Using private DNS settings in android combined with that module. My favorite setup at the moment.
Hey,
I was wondering why my LAN firewall reports such a lot of blocked querys from my mobile phone (Pixel 3 with 06/2021 patches) to ad domains from Google, even I've installed AdAway in root mode.
I t seems that AdAway / the local hosts file works in generally. When I try to open e.g. ad.doubleclick.net in Firefox I'm getting the AdAway blocked page.
But it looks like that one or more system/Google processeses ignoring the file. Otherwise I should not see any queries from my phone to the original IP address of the domain in my application firewall.
Does anybody knows if this is a known behaviour/issue?

OP 8T phone I use for company work, can't root. Is there a way to replace the hosts file with a larger, modified one to block all the spam advertising when browsing? or an Android FireFox add-in that blocks them?
Phone is original unlocked 8T (no TMo bloatware), with TMo 5G SIM.
TIA
No way to replace hostfile without root as far as I know.

Use DNS66 - see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-5-0-dns66-open-source-host-ad-blocker-without-root.3487497/
Thank you for the suggestion of DNS66. I'll pass.
Couple of reasons... It isn't found in PlayStore, you have to side load outside of 'protected' apps. Also, it functions as a private DNS, routing all lookups through a DNS service that resides.... somewhere.
I've found another possible way by using ADB and Android Tools, pull/push files. But don't know if I need to unlock to do this.
Change to any dns with adblocking like dns.adguard.com by setting private dns in android settings.

Hello
Did you find a way to edit the host file without root on OnePlus 8t ?
Thank you in advanced
you could use surfboard or clash for android to modify hosts ，but it need use VPN
You can use AdAway in VPN mode or
install Ublock Origin Firefox plugin or
use private DNS as suggested by @Rootk1t
Hallo .
I really don't like miui therefor many ads in system apps so i try alot of method to stop it but i need to make system stable and Bootloader locked so i think using private dns is the best way to block ads .
