Envoyé de mon oneplus 6T

I use Adguard Premium. Got it with a lifetime license for my phone and 2 PCs. Works fine for me. Some apps I have to exclude but no major issues and I've used it on multiple different phones, including my OP6T. Love it.

For the non root devices the following can be interesting; Adguard DNS is now available using DNS over TLS so the address can be added in private DNS:

I am using adguard dns, so far so good.

I'm using Blokada and not rooted.

Adguard premium here
Pretty much shuts down everything for my use. In app ads and what not.

Easy, I'm rooted and use MOAAB (mother of all adblock). Replace your old host file with the newly downloaded one from here and profit.

You can use orbot for the VPN, it's free from the app store along with adguard which by the way is the best ad blocker.

no, no VPN needed, just put their hostname in the private dns settings:
DNS-over-TLS:
Use dns.adguard.com string for “Default” or dns-family.adguard.com for “Family protection”.

Any recommended settings for rooted 6T?

I'm using Adaway, root user.

Rooted - use adaway
Unrooted - use adguard dns or blokada or adguard vpn.

I am using Block This. simple and does what it should. Blocks ads throughout within games as well.

I always used Adaway never had any issues, rooted here

Also AdAway. rooted.

I could not find where to set adguard dns, any help? Using 6t McClaren

PPP encryption (MPPE)
DNS search domains
DNS servers (eg 8.8.8.8)

Honestly i don't know what to fill in those boxes

Does Adguard protect me on P2P?

I have Adguard paid version and was wondering if the VPN is good for hiding tracking on torrents in P2P clients like utorrent?

Nope, Adguard is a local VPN, so for remote servers your real IP stays the same.
Is there another app I can run simultaneously with Adguard that will hide or change ip for p2p

Looking for VPN / IP Hider

I am looking for the best free VPN / IP hider and wondering what you guys suggest???
Thanks
I don't know about free, but PrivateInternetAccess is what I use. it's $40/yr but you get apps for all your devices. They provide a SOCKS5 proxy too, which I setup in my torrent client to hide my torrent IP address, but still have full speed regular access for the rest of my internet usage. I've tried the PIA android app and it works as expected.

I've recently started using Opera VPN. It is a free app on Google Play Store. No charges and it works great for what I need on my phone. Don't want the corporate IT to see what I'm looking at on my phone at work while using wifi.

For torrents I use btguard 6 a month
I also use Private Internet Access and can confirm that it is great service. I run it on my windows 10 laptop and note 7 using the provided apps which have easy access settings for encryption standards. The reason why I chose PIA is they are based in USA, which paradoxically has no law requiring them to hold records of access, so even if they were subpoenaed they would have nothing regarding your browsing. Not that I'm hiding anything shady but it's nice to have some level of privacy online. I don't use it for torrenting but as mentioned they have socks.

I added it but how do u get to block ads?
You simply set it and it block ads :
What is AdGuard DNS?
AdGuard DNS is a free, privacy-oriented DNS resolution system that blocks tracking, ads and phishing. You can use it instead of your current DNS provider.

You do nothing, it's adguard DNS server that block them directly before they arrive to your phone. That's the 'new' way to adblock, using DNS provider with adblock lists included

Private dns
It only works on WiFi. Not mobile data.
Yes it does: it works on both wifi and mobile networks, as good and seamlessly as Adaway.
No need to root only for adblocking anymore.
If non-rooted, you don't need Blokada or any VPN based adblocker anymore.
Just set:
Settings > Wi-Fi & Internet > Private DNS > dns.adguard.com
and you are good without any additional app.
* Edit, may 2023
Now it's
dns.adguard-dns.com
It blocks ads AND trackers

Just keep in mind that with using this, you cant add any apps or sites to exceptions for when they won't work properly due to the adguard DNS blocking content. Only reason why I use the adguard app (use it on my 2 PCs and phone for an amazing deal) is so I can add exceptions or turn it off easily when needed.

I have been noticing on some apps I need to force a reboot for the app to work again. It seems to be happening about 1 to 2 times a day.

Are you guys using a different way to avoid ads?
I recently started using this method over using an app. So far so good, but, I will chime in, in about a week to notify you guys of my results.

My phone has an uptime of 475h, so the answer is : no
But we probably don't have the same apps installed, it can be a conflict between private dns and an app.

Suggest good adblocker

And how to use it
Install Firefox, set it as default, use the origin AdBlock plugin. Works awesome.

This! dns.adguard.com. Enter that setting into your private dns settings in network connections.
Will stop all ads for sure and dont have to be rooted.
+1 for adguard.
Another +1 for Adguard
It's all you need.

Root: AdAway or Magisk module called Energized.
Non-root: Adguard, Blokada.
Non-root ad blockers use a local VPN as proxy where all the filtering happens, so if you already use a VPN, you can't use both. It's possible to proxy chain, but I never got to it, so I don't know if it works properly.
Custom DNS is the easiest way to have ads blocked without root, however if your telco provider offers deals like free Spotify streaming or any other free streaming, which doesn't affect your mobile data cap, then you can't change the mobile data DNS to AdGuard's, because it will bypass your provider's DNS and will count your data.
