my problem is that i have a non rooted phone with vpn always on and im searching for an app to activating ad block on it.
My fix for it would be to use an android wide proxy or a custom dns that overrides vpn dns.
as title said an root app or an app that provides vpn solution wouldnt be what im searching for. I had once an adblock app that routes traffic trough local proxy beside the vpn but cant find it anymore
Update: i found AdHell but its only for Samsung Devices with knox. Any other solutions?

any news on this one?
I wanna use protonVPN and adblcoker at same time
a bit of elbow grease to protect self from Privacy Raping
Some [open]vpn clients allow vpn side connection to Socks5. Some even allow toggle of LAN access from device. I am not claiming a finish product exists but perhaps this gives you some joy.
Perhaps your socks5 instance runs in Amazon AWS free tier. Maybe it runs locally on your android handset. Perhaps you run Privoxy itself on android. [@mod: privoxy is F/OSS older than this forum]. There are a few privoxy projects for android on github. Perhaps you pick their brain. It was that against which proxomitron competed [also F/OSS. Thank God for Scott Lemmon].
Using things in differing order you might search the article to which I may not link: Privoxy on Android (with EC2 VPN)
I wanted to bring the Amazon EC2-based Privoxy service to it, by way of a VPN.

There was no obvious way to contact the author who hasn't posted since 2016.
There is an OpenVPN service you can likely find the name of yourself offering *recently* an adblock toggle and AntiTracker toggle with a hardcode mode to protect you from predators like google and Fbook. It shouldn't be long before others emulate this functionality. It sports the vpn side socks5 option.
Or privoxy tunnel to remote [cloud (openvpn)]. See? Fun with permutations. Maybe from phone with ShadowSocks to cloud to vpn to web. "OpenVPN over shadowsocks". At this point look into sites helping Chinese dissidents.
You definitely then return here with your improvements to share.
The remaining question is how much is your time worth? Not much? Then search the web ad naseum for the 'ideal free' solution. Elsewise pony up some pennies for some cloud time as part of a solution.
Same question here !
And it seems that adhell is now only available for entreprise use
Wasn't AdGuard doing that?
yes you are right. it works with setting a private dns in the system settings with dns.adguard.com - no batterydrain - no more ads - no vpn - no root

You don't need to root your device to get OpenVPN service; I am using bVPN service with a secure account, encrypted connection and high speed browsing and without any connection problems. I am totally satisfied and I didn't need to root my device. You can check yourself http://www.vpnanswers.com/secure-android-with-openvpn-over-ssh-tunnel-without-root/

Hi,
I'm looking for a Android VPN-Server App as well. Ultimate Server is a Paid-Version and for this money i can buy a raspberry pi and put openvpn on it.
Do you know a Freeware VPN-Server app for android? I would like to use it with openvpn.

Bump. A VPN server would be a great way to give functionality to old Android devices, and I agree that $7 for the Servers Ultimate is too much (you can get a Pogoplug Mobile for $9.50 shipped right now, and that has an Ethernet port).
I am sure no free Android VPN can support OpenVPN as it is an open source and most secure VPN protocol, you better try some cheap and affordable Android VPN via Google search
Free VPNs are not as much reliable as paid one. if you have small budget go with one month package and see how it works. I use PureVPN on Android phone and it works without any problem https://www.purevpn.com/vpn-app-for-android.php
Does anyone know a widget that can one-click enable a configured VPN? All widgets I can find only enable VPN's configured in the program itself instead of the VPN's configured on the system, usually those applications also don't support OpenVPN.
The closest I can find (on CM7.1 and the market) is adding a settings-widget that opens the VPN settings. This allready reduces the amount of clicks to two.
Is it technically even possible to make a widget for this?
this app
maybe help you quickvpn (market search)
QuickVPN does not have a one-click widget for my homescreen and doesn't use the internal VPN settings.
Have you tried "1 VPN"?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.doenter.onevpn
1-VPN is the same story... It uses it's own sources for VPN rather then the android VPN settings.
It isn't possible using the Android SDK, but some manufacturers expose it using their own SDKs (according to this).
It's something I'd like to support with Awesome Widgets, but it might be hard to support all phones satisfactorily. I guess a fallback would be to show the settings if it wasn't possible with a particular phone
All the best,
Ash
Wouldn't it be less of an issue when using a custom rom? (I use CM7.1 on my Desire Z)
Yeah, if you have root access it's probably not too difficult (with a bit of java reflection), but I don't think the majority of users will know anything about custom roms or root access.
They'll feel conned when it doesn't work on their standard device, something I'd like to avoid
I think quick vpn client can help you in this. or else you can check android market for some sort of widgets. I haven't tried it but i am looking to get best paid vpn service and free vpn service for htc chacha...?
Hello there,
it seems that on the S9+ (and maybe S9, tho users over there report everything is fine) all the VPN-based ad blockers like DNS66, Blokada and the likes do not work correctly. When switching between wifi and mobile, the connection randomly dies, not letting anything through anymore until you restart the phone, or disable the blocker. It is documented in a github issue for DNS66 here. This is annoying, as I found this solution the most user-friendly. I know there is Adhell 3, but a) it's annoying to resign and reinstall every 3 months and apply for new keys and b) it doesn't block everything, not even if I manually feed it with all the hosts files that DNS66 uses. It blocks ads alright, but misses quite some.
Is there any known fix for this, or any other adblock suggestion besides that? I know that rooting and adaway would be best, but I won't root anymore since Samsung here in Europe straight off denies any warranty requests for rooted devices, even if it's got nothing to do with the root itself.
Adguard would a suggestion, but it does use a VPN blocking service for system wide blocking. It's not free and is subscription based. At one time I used adguard over dns66 as adguard worked and dns66 did not (VPN issues with dns66).
For non rooted users there is really no other options. Unless you want to setup a pihole server, somehow get your dns setting on your phone to point to the pihole server and go that route. In the case of dns changes on non-rooted devices it's either a VPN based change or knox. So your options are limited to one or the other. Of course this becomes moot if your plan on only blocking ads when you use a wifi connection.
I've done the pihole route before too, it works but doesn't catch everything. Some ads originate from the same domain as where your visiting, in which case dns adblocking won't work. For those scenarios cosmetic filtering would.
Otherwise I use adhell3 and adblock plus plugin on samsung browser. For practical intents and purposes I steered clear of VPN based setups for a reason. Also I don't mind recompilimg adhell3 once in a while, he's really put a lot of work into making it as simple as possible. I've got my android studio setup so that I just pull the latest changes, build the apk and install.
If adhell3 isn't your cup of tea then the only app I know is Disconnect Pro which costs $24.99 in the galaxy app store. Disconnect Pro functions the same way as Adhell3 does.. as a front end configuration for knox. I've read somewhere that Adhell3 has more features then Disconnect Pro, but I didn't look to much into that to find out what one has over the other.
If I were to suggest something I would suggest adhell3 combined with adblock plus plugin for your browser. combined those work the best for me... some ads might slip through, but dns based ad blocking is not the same as cosmetic ad blocking. Adguard should still do cosmetic filtering, but it's been a while since I used that app.
I am use this one on my S9+, it's free and work fine.

Has anyone found a way to tether from the phone without being throttled?

mosh then forward traffic through the tunnel

Let me go have a look see at it. I'm not looking for the full 5G but God I lived through dial up once already.... and it looks to be open source which is even better!

I am guessing you recommended this without actually having tried it because according to the mosh readme: "Mosh does not support X forwarding or the non-interactive uses of SSH, including port forwarding."
If mosh can be actually used for tunneling, would you please describe specifically how to do so? My general understanding of this would be to run a server app on the phone and then connect client devices like PC's and Android TV's using mosh in client mode to it to forward their traffic through it. However, I cannot find an SSH server app for Android which will run on Android 11 due to changes made by Google in Android 10 and above. My understanding of the official mosh documentation is that mosh requires an SSH server to establish a connection before it can run its own server mode.
In addition will mosh tunnel both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic? If so, how would this be setup? Would two separate server sessions be required?
Iv tried most of the paid apps in the store (Klink, Pdanet+ and so forth) and Klink while not full speed works the best but after a few days all of the sudden you lose the ability to use sites like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or oddly Minecraft services.
i get anywhere from 85-130mbps by using vpn hotspot + adguard. it requires root tho.
first time posting on the P6 forum (last had a P3).
previously, I used dns.adguard.com for the Private DNS setting. however, that was not blocking all of the ads from within some apps. it worked pretty well until then. Now, I downloaded blokada 5, and that successfully blocks almost all ads. the lone problem is that when connecting to a website, it often slows it down.
curious to see if anyone has a similar experience or recommend an alternative to dns.adguard.com.
thanks!

I personally use both NordVPN as well as AdAway with root; AdAway has a VPN function of its own, and you can use your own host lists, but the VPN solution is more resource intensive than the root solution.

interesting - thanks for the quick reply.
i do have windscribe, but rarely use it. i have not rooted this device yet, as my understanding rooting will disable Google Wallet/GPay - and I use those more often than I would need to hide ads.
+1 to AdAway, plus if your preferred browser supports it, install an adblocker in it as well - I use uBlock for Firefox.
There's also MinMinGuard which has recently gotten an update to make it work on current systems, but that requires Lsposed if you don't already use it, as well as individually enabling it for every new app you install. Honestly, though, with AdAway plus a browser adblocker, I almost never see any ads in any app, so I don't find MinMinGuard necessary anymore.
Ad blocking apps like Blokada and DNS-based ad blockers like AdGuard can be effective at blocking ads, but they can also slow down your browsing experience. This is because ad blockers need to process and filter out ads, which can take up resources and cause delays.
One alternative to dns.adguard.com that you could try is Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1. This is a free, fast, and secure DNS resolver that also includes ad-blocking capabilities. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 uses their own ad-blocking technology which is based on the same technology used by their enterprise-grade Web Application Firewall (WAF). This can block ads at the DNS level, which can be less resource-intensive than using an app like Blokada.

No root will not disable Google Wallet/GPay, you just have to install Safety net fix module and all works great, for banking apps just hide root into settings. I use all my banking apps, card tokens and gpay/wallet everyday. Rooking root + adaway.

i tried installing the 1.1.1.1 app from cloudflare, and it did NOT block the ads on my scrabble app. thx for the suggestion though.
Have you tried using a browser like Brave which would help with your browsing experience. I use a combination of Blockada for system wide blocking, pihole for in-home network based blocking and browsers like Brave/DDG for blocking and so on. I have a tasker based activity for turning on/off blockada when in home/out of home. It's my non-root solution.
Additionally you can also lookup -
ahadns.com - you get a customised secure dns url, you can setup filter lists and the URL is configured based on the seelctions.
nextdns.io - something similar to the above. 300,000 free ad-blocking queries per month and past that, the non-blocking DNS service will work till the next month.

Hey, just stumbled across your post and thought that if you use piehole at home, you should be able to just use a VPN to you piehole when on the road so you don't have to rely on third party apps. Don't know about performance though, but you might give it a try.
Cheers
Been taking NextDNS for a test ride. Easy set up with a lot of features, up to 300,000 queries per month for free. What's not to like?
Fast and running pretty smooth so far, day 7.
