Nomoads vs ZeroAds

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.

ZeroAds changes which DNS resolver iOS uses, and adds a rule list for Safari. That is all it does. Pick a filter list and ZeroAds points your iPhone at the public encrypted-DNS resolver that publishes it. That operator declines to resolve advertising and tracking domains, so those domains never load — in apps and in Safari, not just in the browser. Filtering happens on the operator's servers, using their own published list. AD BLOCKING IN SAFARI ZeroAds includes a Safari content blocker: a rule list Safari compiles and enforces itself. It is free and does not need Pro. Switch it on under Settings › Apps › Safari › Extensions › ZeroAds. It covers what a DNS resolver cannot reach: • Ad slots left behind in the page, so a blocked ad leaves no gap. • Cookie-consent pop-ups — OneTrust, Cookiebot, CookieYes, Quantcast, TrustArc and others. These are part of the site's own HTML, so no DNS filter can touch them. • Ad and tracker requests matched by path, not only by domain. All 93 rules are hand-written for this app. FOUR FILTER LISTS — ONE FREE, THREE WITH PRO • Cloudflare Filtered — Cloudflare 1.1.1.2. Free. Cloudflare's own flagged-domain list. Advertising domains are not on it, so ads still load. • Ads & Trackers — AdGuard DNS Default. Requires Pro. Declines to resolve advertising and tracking domains. • Quad9 Filtered — Quad9 9.9.9.9. Requires Pro. A non-profit resolver applying its published block list. Advertising domains are not on it, so ads still load. • Family — AdGuard Family. Requires Pro. Advertising and tracking domains plus adult-content domains. Switch lists whenever you like. Changing list is instant, and so is turning filtering on and off. NO VPN ZeroAds does not use a VPN or a packet tunnel. There is no VPN icon in your status bar, nothing runs in the background, and there is no battery cost from a tunnel. iOS sends DNS queries straight to the resolver you chose. WHAT ZEROADS DOES NOT DO • It does not block ads inside YouTube. YouTube serves video ads from the same hostnames as the video itself, so no DNS-based blocker can separate the two — blocking those hosts would stop playback. The same applies to any app serving ads from its own domains. • It does not scan your device, check it for viruses or malware, or look for security or privacy problems. • It does not inspect your traffic. • It runs no server of its own and never receives your DNS queries. • It shows no count of what was blocked. iOS gives the app no visibility into what the resolver did, so any number here would be invented. HOW iOS HANDLES THIS iOS keeps the choice of DNS resolver with you. When you turn the filter on, iOS may ask you to allow it — tap Allow and you are done. If it does not ask, the choice lives in Settings and ZeroAds walks you there. You can switch back to Automatic at any time under Settings › General › VPN, DNS & Device Management. Filter lists are operated by AdGuard, Cloudflare and Quad9. Each operator's privacy policy is linked inside the app. ——— ZeroAds Pro unlocks the AdGuard DNS Default, Quad9 and AdGuard Family lists. Cloudflare Filtered and the Safari rule list stay free. If you installed ZeroAds before this version, all four lists remain available on your install.
