I saw there was a thread about ad blocking on android but I was wondering the best methods for ad blocking that cover the entire phone if possible like in app ads and such as well.

    Why limit yourself to just your phone, use a pi-hole and block ads for your whole network.

    And when I’m out, I have a vpn running on the phone back to my home network and block ads on 4g/5g as well

    Use either NextDNS or adguard. They are DNS-level ad blockers, so a quick configuration of your DNS settings and ur good to go.

    At system level you can use AdGuard DNS. Search in the settings app for DNS and set custom DNS to dns.adguard-dns.com

    On Safari you can download the AdGuard app and configure it as a content blocker.

    I use adguard and adguard VPN on my phone. I have an adguard home server set up on my home network so I use that when I’m at home instead. I don’t VPN into my network as others have suggested because I have Xfinity and I have limited monthly data.
