Stop ads, protect your privacy, and take back your screen. AdBlocker VPN combines three layers of protection: DNS-level blocking that stops ads in every app, a private, encrypted VPN, and Safari protection that cleans up what's left — including YouTube video ads. BLOCK ADS EVERYWHERE The local DNS filter blocks ads, trackers, pop-ups, and banners before they're even downloaded — in every browser and inside your apps. No configuration, no root, no per-site setup. One tap and they're gone. YOUTUBE WITHOUT THE ADS Turn on Safari Protection and watch YouTube in Safari with no video ads, no "Sponsored" posts, and no ad overlays. Powered by continuously updated filter lists (EasyList) plus rules tuned by us for YouTube, Reddit, and other major sites. PRIVATE VPN — SAFE ON ANY NETWORK Route your traffic through an encrypted tunnel to keep it away from snooping on public Wi-Fi and untrusted networks. Your browsing stays yours. WHAT ADBLOCKER VPN BLOCKS • Video ads, banners, and text ads • Interstitials, rich media, and floating ads • Pop-ups and pop-unders • Third-party trackers and analytics • Known malware, adware, and phishing domains WHY YOU'LL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE • Pages load faster because ads never download • Save mobile data and battery • Fewer distractions, cleaner reading • Your own rules: whitelist sites you want to support, block extra domains with one tap EASY BY DESIGN • One-touch setup — no technical knowledge needed • Works on iPhone and iPad • Filter lists update automatically every day Terms of Use & Privacy Policy: https://dajax.com/privacy_policy_adb.html

Nomoads blocks ads, trackers and unwanted domains in apps, games and Safari, right on your iPhone and iPad. It works at the DNS level: when an app tries to reach a known ad or tracking server, Nomoads stops the request before it connects. Turn it on with one tap and it keeps working in the background. WHY PEOPLE USE NOMOADS • Fewer ads in apps, games and websites • Stop trackers that follow you from app to app • Block known scam, phishing and gambling domains • See what was blocked, domain by domain PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Filtering happens on your device • No account needed • Nomoads never sees or stores your browsing history • Your traffic does not pass through Nomoads servers Nomoads uses the iOS VPN permission only to filter DNS locally. It does not change your IP address or location. FEATURES • Protection levels from Relaxed to Ultimate • Advanced lists: scams, gambling, adult content, social networks, intrusive overlays • Custom filter lists and your own blocked domains • Allowlist for sites you trust • Live stats and a full query log • Home Screen widget FREE & PREMIUM Start free with up to 1,000 blocks per day. Premium removes the daily limit and unlocks stronger protection levels, advanced and custom lists, and 30-day stats history. GOOD TO KNOW Some ads come from the same servers as the content itself (for example, video ads inside YouTube), and DNS filtering cannot remove those. iOS allows only one active VPN at a time.

Both are free to download. AdBlocker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Nomoads sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AdBlocker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 23 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of AdBlocker's written reviews are positive against 75% of Nomoads's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AdBlocker ships an update fortnightly, Nomoads every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
