It covers me on Cellular and WiFi! It blocks ads much better than my old DNS system. I just wish it were on Windows and Android. ### 4/5 — Y’all need to update *2026-07-08, version 1.8.1* It was working for a second but all of a sudden stopped working it need to be more stronger and less and every time I go on the app just to check if it’s on it all of a sudden it off ### 5/5 — Very nice app *2026-07-05, version 1.8.1* This is a very nice app, working on many games, even games that are very unknown, I just wish it worked on magic tiles 3, but if they can’t that’s alright ### 5/5 — Excellent but check for DNS leaks *2026-07-04, version 1.8.1* It’s blocking abilities are incredible. However, with some VPNs, the tunnel gets bypassed and this leaks your DNS.

Before I started using it, I honestly didn't realize how many ads I was dealing with every day. Ads were everywhere—on websites, videos, news articles, blogs, and even simple searches. I had gotten so used to closing pop-ups, waiting for pages to load, and accidentally clicking advertisements that I thought it was just a normal part of using the internet. Then I installed this free ad blocker, and everything changed. The first thing I noticed was how much cleaner websites looked. Instead of being surrounded by banners, flashing promotions, autoplay videos, and giant pop-ups asking me to subscribe to something, I could actually focus on the content I wanted to see. Articles became easier to read. Search results became less cluttered. Websites felt simpler and more enjoyable. Another reason I love this ad blocker is because it makes browsing feel faster. Many websites load numerous advertisements, tracking scripts, and promotional content in the background. With those distractions blocked, pages often load more quickly and smoothly. It feels like the internet runs better. Whether I'm reading articles, researching something for school, watching videos, or just casually browsing, everything feels more efficient. One of my favorite things about this ad blocker is how it reduces distractions. The internet already has enough things competing for attention. Without constant advertisements popping up, flashing, or trying to get me to click on them, I can actually focus on what I'm doing. If I'm reading a story, I can stay immersed in it. If I'm watching a video, I can enjoy it without interruptions. If I'm studying, I can concentrate on the information instead of getting distracted by random products being advertised to me. I also appreciate how easy it is to use. Some software can be confusing or require lots of setup, but this ad blocker works in the background and doesn't demand constant attention. Once it's installed, it just quietly does its job. I don't have to think about it. It makes my online experience better every day without creating extra work for me. Another major benefit is that it helps make the internet feel less annoying. There are few things more frustrating than opening a website and immediately being hit with multiple pop-ups, notification requests, newsletter signups, cookie banners, and advertisements all at once. This ad blocker helps eliminate much of that frustration and allows me to get straight to the content I actually wanted to see. I also think it's great that it's free. There are many tools and services that charge monthly subscriptions, but this ad blocker provides a huge improvement to my browsing experience without costing anything. That's one of the reasons I recommend it so often. It's hard to argue with something that is effective, easy to use, and free. Whenever friends or family complain about annoying ads, slow websites, or constant pop-ups, this is usually the first thing I suggest. Most people don't realize how much better their browsing experience can be until they try an ad blocker for themselves. After using one for a while, it's honestly difficult to imagine going back. What impresses me most is that such a simple tool can make such a big difference. It doesn't add flashy features or completely reinvent the internet. Instead, it removes problems that shouldn't be there in the first place. By getting rid of unnecessary distractions, it allows the web to feel cleaner, faster, and more enjoyable. At this point, I consider it one of the most useful things I've ever installed on my device. It improves nearly every website I visit, saves me time, reduces distractions, and makes browsing more comfortable. Whether someone spends a few minutes online each day or several hours, I genuinely think they would notice the difference. That's why I recommend this free ad blocker to everyone. It's simple, effective, easy to use, and completely transforms the online experience for the better. Once you've used it, you'll probably wonder how you ever browsed the internet without it. ### 1/5 — つい数ヶ月前から *2026-05-25* アプリ、ブラウザ、何をするにも挙動がおかしくなり、オンにしている間のブラウザと特定のアプリの起動時に一切の通信をしてくれなくなるようになりました。 最初は自分のiPhone側か、ネットワーク環境のせいかと思っていました。再起動を何度も試し、機内モードのオンオフをしても変わりません。 でもこちらのvpnをオフにすると全部通信環境もよくなりすぐにアプリや検索も立ち上がるようになりました。 どうにかなりませんか。ありえないほど便利でお世話になっていたので困っておりアンインストール検討しています。 ### 1/5 — amazing!! *2026-05-16, version 1.6.0* this works super well for games + apps that have pop ups with websites, it's easy to use and worth the buy! ### 1/5 — trash *2026-05-11, version 1.5.0* keeps glitching out my phone and doesn’t want to work ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-05-11, version 1.5.0* It’s not working for me anymore, I click on the button and it turns off my internet but doesn’t actually turn it on? If I can explain right. But it’s not working for me and I tried restarting my network, but like I said not working. ### 1/5 — . *2026-03-01, version 1.4.0* I saw the reviews and thought that it would be a great app, but I downloaded it and it didn’t work to get rid of any ads. ### 1/5 — 17 pro Max *2026-02-16, version 1.4.0* Çalışmıyor ### 1/5 — Cannot work *2026-01-03, version 1.3.0* The configuration only shows the local server 127.0.0.1 and not the connected VPN address, therefore it cannot block ads.
