ZeroAds vs AdVoid

ZeroAds changes which DNS resolver iOS uses. 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. EVERY FILTER LIST IS FREE • Ads & Trackers — AdGuard DNS Default. Declines to resolve advertising and tracking domains. • Cloudflare Filtered — Cloudflare 1.1.1.2. Cloudflare's own flagged-domain list. Advertising domains are not on it, so ads still load. • Quad9 Filtered — Quad9 9.9.9.9. A non-profit resolver applying its published block list. Advertising domains are not on it, so ads still load. • Family — AdGuard Family. 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. A SAFARI RULE LIST IS INCLUDED ZeroAds ships a content blocker for Safari that you switch on in Settings. It handles what DNS cannot reach: ad slots left behind in the page layout, and cookie-consent banners served by the site itself. You turn it on under Settings › Apps › Safari › Extensions › ZeroAds. 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 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. ——— All four filter lists are free in this version.

AdVoid blocks ads and trackers across your device. AdVoid requires an AdVoid Pro subscription. All features below are part of AdVoid Pro. HOW IT WORKS AdVoid runs a local VPN that only checks the web addresses your apps look up. Requests to known ad and tracking servers are stopped before they leave your phone. Everything else works as normal. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Blocking happens on your device. Your traffic isn't routed through our servers, and your activity history stays on your device. ADVOID PRO FEATURES (SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED) • Blocks ads and trackers in apps and websites • Choose from trusted blocklists, or add your own • Allow or block any website with a swipe • See what's blocked, live and over time GOOD TO KNOW Some ads can't be blocked, like YouTube ads. YouTube sends ads from the same servers as its videos, so blocking them would also break YouTube. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS AdVoid Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple ID settings. If you subscribe during the free trial, any unused part of the trial is forfeited. Terms of Service: https://roxuh.com/advoid/tos
